This Fakebook profile template has been created specifically for student use in developing characters (fictional or historical). It is not an exact replica of a Facebook Profile but follows the general recognisable format and includes elements useful for character development work.
Note: this resource is part of the characterisation full unit (but I thought it may be useful as a resource available by itself also).
Comes in colour and black and white. I've also included the word version so you can make changes.
