  1. TKAM Tweets Bringing the gossip-mill of Maycomb County into the 21st Century

  2. So what’s a Twitter? • In case you’ve been under a rock for the past few years, Twitter is an online social networking and “micoblogging” site where people write miniature updates about their lives, their thoughts about current events, etc. • Each post is called a “tweet,” and tweets are confined to only 140 characters (letters, spaces, and numbers). They’re the haikus of the blogging world. • If you direct a tweet at someone, you write @_______. • For example: Lern this simple le$$on & get far in life: Put yrself n other prsn’s sh00s. @Scout.

  3. Where and when will I tweet? • You will get logged onto www.edmodo.com , create a fake user profile as though you were your character, and type fake character tweets as though you were your character, responding to the events of each chapter. • You will write one 140-characer tweet per chapter and post it to the edmodo feed for that chapter BY THE NEXT CLASS.

  4. What CAN’T I tweet? • No foul language. This includes acronyms like WTF and STFU. • Nothing inflammatory at another character that might be offensive to an actual student. • Yes, some of your characters are racist, but refrain from using a certain word starting with N…even if it’s what your character might say. • Just be smart—think before you type.
