Turkey Tweets

We enjoyed some Thanksgiving fun in Writer's Workshop last week.  After discussing some of the features of Twitter, students were challenged to take on the role of a turkey and write a tweet.

Features of Twitter:

• profile picture
• #hastags
• 140 character maximum
• catchy @name

Using a Google Slides  template (thanks Jim Covais at Covais Tech), the kids set to work, creatively constructing attractive Twitter pages. Below are some favourites from the class...

Even changed the #hashtag colour!  @Butterball?  Good one!

Look at the fall background and use of an innocent turkey profile pic!

Influenced by the shenanigans of the USA presidential race?

And finally, I hope you enjoy the puns in this tweet and how this Gr 6 student was able to make connections from the news.  

Yes...that is the flag of TURKEY!

I was thankful that many students embraced the challenge.  As a reader, I gobbled up the humour.  This is the stuff that makes teaching a treat.
