Library Blurbs or Library Tweets Microblogging Center with Lesson Plan

Teach your students how to tweet using a microblog center! I use this center to engage students in discussions about what they are reading and it helps to build our community of readers.

Center objective: Students will compose blurbs in the style of a microblog, responding to a question or to other students.

Materials included:
✼ center set-up instructions
✼ lesson plan for introducing microblogging in the library
✼ 22 microblog conversation starters
