<p><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">“I am planning for a year 9 Wider reading assignment and I thought you may be able to help me out. My idea was for the students to select a main character from their novel and
create a 'facebook' style website or social media page however I am not sure what site or program to use. Obviously the site will need to be 'school safe'. This way they can create a profile , events, status, likes, friends etc pages to show their knowledge
of the book that they have read in a mode to which they are familiar and confident.”</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>

have been done for me.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
