Twitter-style Thinking: Engaging Student Discussion

Encourage thoughtful dialogue and critical thinking skills by having students engage in a Twitter-style activity. Students will respond to a thought-provoking question in 140 characters or less and then move around the room to respond to classmates' tweets using evidence from their experiences, readings, or discussions. This activity promotes written communication and leads to a whole-group discussion.

  1. Materials: Markers Blank Paper Table Top Twitter • Ask the students a thought evoking question. • Students begin their “tweet” by responding to the question. They should keep them short, in Twitter style (140 characters or less). • Students will then move around the room, responding to their classmates’ tweets by incorporating evidence from: • their own life and experiences • the world around them • prior readings or classroom discussions • They should be communicating in written words only. • Afterwards, students should return to their original tweet and read the comments. Use this to fuel a whole group discussion on the original question.
