Make your own Fakebook page by creating a blog at
www.blogger.com.
You all have Google accounts and that is all it takes to start blogging.
Follow the instructions and in no time your Fakebook site is ready.
Then you have to fill your site. The first topic is to present yourself and your family.
Feel free to add amazing photos and remember most things you find on Fakebook
are too good to be true.
Extra task: Make a comic strip about a childhood memory.
Easy version: Makebeliefscomix
2 You don't need to register. Start by clicking on "Enter here".
3 You click on the character/ the bubble/ the thing you want to add and it will turn up
in the marked square in your comic strip. You navigate by clicking the arrows beneath
the square to choose different characters et c.
4 To the left of the comic strips you find tools with which you can move, turn,
resize and delete things in your strip.
5 There is no way to save your strip so you have to mail it to yourself to get
a copy of the strip. You mail/print by clicking at the top to the left of the strips.
NB
It is possible to write in the bubbles in the mailed copies of the strip. If you don't
have time to finish the strip in one lesson see to it that you have all the characters
and all the bubbles you need. Then you can continue with the text later on.
A more advanced but also more complicated version: Pixton
2 You need to register to use Pixton. If you are younger than 18 years you have
to write down your parents' e-mail address. It's free to use Pixton but you consume
points when you make a comic strip. If you want to get more points you have to do
certain things, like read the rules, invite a friend, visit the Pixton-site every day.
You can also buy points and that is why you have to give them your parents' e-mail
if you are underaged.
3 After you have clicked "Join now" and registered you have to open your
e-mail and confirm your registration before you can start.
4 Then you can start creating comic strips. My advice is to start with the ones called
Quickies (Snabbt fixate), where there are readymade scenecs, bubbles et c and you can
change characters and add things to make them you own.
5 In Pixton you have many possibilities to change everything from facial expressions
to body positions. You have many backgrounds, props and special effects you can add.
6 In Pixton you can save and continue with a strip later on. Don't hesitate to ask your
teacher to check your text before you publish it.
NB! If the computer can't finish downloading a strip you have chosen, your points aren't lost.
When you log in another time you'll find these unfinished strips beneath "My comics" and
"unpublished".
