After participating in a Twitter chat called #dubchat, Mrs. Shaffer and I are trying to beef up our use of the 8th grade ELA Twitter feed. In class yesterday, we finished reading Freak the Mighty, the whole school read aloud. Every students' task was to create a tweet (140 characters or less) about the book or their feelings regarding the book. Today, everyone shared his/her tweet and the class voted on the best one to represent each class period. The winners were:
1st period: Dad's back. Max gets sacked. Freak dies. Max cries. #freakthemighty (created by Ashley R.)
2nd period: Just read #freakthemighty. @MaxPerry calls it a must read! Sad ending though. (created by Max P.)
3rd period: That awkward moment when your dad comes and kidnaps you, though it makes for a heck of a story. #freakthemighty (created by Anna M.)
6th period: #freakthemighty The ending is so sad. Poor Max. Kevin was his anchor and now he is drifting away. (created by Nithya V.)
7th period: Freak's dictionary > your dictionary. #freakthemighty (created by Luke M.)
The tweets were sent out after each class, so hopefully, if you follow our class, you received them. In case you haven't jumped on the Grizzell 8th grade ELA twitter feed, you can follow us:

More Twitter fun to follow!
