*The easiest use of Twitter is to answer the great question which the microblog was created for:
What are you doing now?
*Establish a number of times students could tweet answering the question.
*Establish a day and time when all students should tweet their answers to the question.
![Page 12: Shall we tweet](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55974bc51a28ab7d628b4603/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
*Ask students to follow a news
channel such as:
*@BBCWorld
*@cnnbrk
*@BBCNews
*@NBCNewYork
Students comment on the latest news
that has surprised them or called their
attention.

*Celebrate important dates
*Ask students to use the Twitter search and look for an interesting Tweet they could RT on that special day:
*Mothers’Day
*Fathers’Day
*Saint Valentine`s
*International Environment Day
*They could compose their own messages and you could have a poll to vote on the best one.

*As a class, decide on a celebrity to
be followed and on a deadline to
bring the juicy gossip into class and
comment on what they have learned
about the celebrity:
*@sseagalofficial
*@justinbieber
* @LadyGaga
*@BarrackObama

*Use Twitter to comment about the
literature books that the class is
reading.

students and readers tweet at least

impressions of the story or the
characters.

*We proposed to our Advanced students to tweet in English as an after/during class project.
*We opened an account for the class and an application of GroupTweet.
*As students joined Twitter and started following the class Twitter, they were added as contributors.

*And answer at least one tweet in relation to the content topic of the lesson.

Can you think of another activity
that could be done with the use of
