In this lesson, students will create a fake profile on a modern Civil Rights Leader using a Facebook Page template. They will also explore the positive and negative effects of data permanence on someone's personal and professional digital footprint. The Fakebook page can be used creatively in any content, but for this lesson, students will research the significance and contributions of a modern civil right leader. Students will “post” true and false information. The most important part of this lesson is providing time for students to discuss the reflection questions at the end of the lesson.
