student, this might begin with 1. Click on Earth
to open the Internet. Etc..
2. You will have to draw this organism and make sure that
it is unique. (Meaning it will not look like an organism
that already exists) It also will need to obtain certain
characteristics that would ensure that it can survive the
habitat that you have chosen.
3. Once you are done with a drawing, go to this website
https://www.classtools.net/FB/home-page and make a
fakebook profile for your organism.
4. Once you get to the fakebook profile I want you to insert
the name of your animal where it says “NAME HERE”. It
cannot be a name of an organism that already exists.
5. Fill in the “ABOUT” section. Include your habitat and
hobbies under “FAMILY”.
6. Insert in organisms that live in your chosen habitat in
the “FRIENDS” section. (Once you put in the name of the
organism, a picture will usually pop up)
7. Then you will create 5 posts minimum. One post should
be as if another organism from your habitat is
commenting on your page. One post about what your
animals eats. One post about what predators comes
after your organism. One post about your survival
characteristics and one post about anything you want.
You are allowed to make comments on these post (click
the comment button on the post you created), you are
also allowed to make certain organisms like your posts
(click the like button and insert the organisms you want
to like). Everything has to appropriate and relate to your
organism in some way.
8. After you complete the minimum of 5 posts, you can
SAVE your work (save button is the first button in the
top right corner). When you save it will give you a link
and an option to create a password. Copy the link and
password you create down on a piece of paper. Keep
this piece of paper safe! This will allow you to come back
and work on your fakebook.
9. Saving will allow you to insert pictures so now you can
change your profile picture and cover photos. (you can
also change the pictures in your post by just clicking the
picture box)
10. After posting the pictures you may save once again and
you feel like you have done everything you wanted then
you can print out your fakebook page.
 Include the hyperlink here so your instructor can see what you have created.
