As an (optional) assignment, create a role-playing activity using **MyFakeWall.** Use the theme "family" and adapt it to your level/language. You have total freedom on the number of characters you include, the specific family topic you select, and the wall length. If you need to type accent marks, use TypeIt.orgto type the text you need and then copy and paste it on your wall. Don't forget to share your creation (as a link) with the rest of the group, in Edmodo. And if you have questions, post them in Edmodo too. Here's a visual guide on how to create a fake wall, as well as my own example of one:
