Create a Profile of a Book Character on MySpace

Here's a great idea for making use of teens' interest in social networking sites such as MySpace, Bebo, Facebook etc

This idea came from a discussion about your best 2.0 project on the TeacherLibrarian Network on Ning.

"...an English class had a fine time making MySpace profiles. The assignment for these Juniors was to create a myspace page for a character from Gatsby. This includes completing a profile, an "about me," blog entries, and commenting on their "friends'" pages in character.
In the words of the teacher, "They ran with it in excitingly creative ways, including songs and photos (that was actually the first thing they did)."

Have just had a look at the myspace site - it is great! Love the soundtrack and friends' photos.
