This block saw a new project in English 8. Students are using twitter to tweet summaries of Rime of the Ancient Mariner. If they don't currently have a twitter they can create an account for free or they may turn the assignment in on paper.
A tweet is only 140 characters - that's letters, numbers, punctuation, and spaces - long. No more. (For example: the last two sentences make up 99 characters.) So, it isn't very long. This poses a creative writing challenge. They must accurately give the story and relevant details, but they have to also keep it short.
