Poetry Activity Twitter-Style: Writing a Poetweet or Twaiku (Haiku using Twitter 140 Character Restrictions)
Harness the social-marketing site Twitter to engage students in this fun activity. It makes poetry more meaningful to them when it is a part of their world. If they see their celebrity crush poetweeting, they'll want to, as well.
Using the limitation of 140 characters in a Twitter tweet, students will create original poems to share with you, their classmates, and possibly the world. It should help them realize that poems don't have to be long or rhyme to send a powerful message or to be "good."
This download includes directions, handouts, and other ways you can utilize this activity in your classroom.

Once again you have presented such an interesting plan! And, as a strong supporter of your various plans that I have always paid for, I love this one- for free!
Used it today with Hunger Games' characters' thoughts. The kids LOVED the activities. Thanks, Tracee.

Tremendous idea to engage my lower-level English 11 classes in writing poetry during our War Poetry unit! I plan to use this activity within the next two weeks. I am sure it will be engaging, successful, and meaningful!

I am a middle school business education teacher. Your lesson on "Poetweets" is a great way to incorporate character counting into an activity!! Thank you for sharing.

Tracee,
I don't know how you do it! You are my new hero! ALL the things you create are so imaginative and engaging! I want to be a STUDENT in YOUR class! My students LOVE the materials you create! The Twitter summary sheets have been the hit of my reading program, and they took a boring novel study to a new high:) You inspired me to spice it up and make it better after using your Twitter idea. Now you create this...and give it away for FREE. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Spring has sprung!

You are so sweet! I'm so glad your students enjoyed it! I made this a couple years ago, but just added a new cover to it. :) My students love any poetry writing exercise that is short. Haha! Have a great year and thanks so much for the feedback!

I can remember doing things like this when I was younger. Not sure this will work for the classes I teach now, but maybe it will inspire something else.

Sitting here thinking, "Oh, how I wanna' be in this class." Then it comes to me. I AM!
This is a great lesson for those of us who, like me, are "Twitter Twitts" and a time-saving resource for those who are social network experts!
Thanks, Tracee.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I've been teaching at my current public high school for twelve years, and have a total of 16 years experience. Most of my experience is teaching high school English and journalism classes; however, for several years I taught an art history class. I teach all levels--from honors students to special education students; therefore, I'm constantly modifying my assignments to fit my students' needs.
