So many events in the Civil Rights Movement – imagine if you were present at all of them! How would you communicate the basic information of each major event quickly and concisely? Well, if we could send some technology back in time, maybe you could **“tweet”** your way through the Movement. In this activity, you will report about various events, people, and organizations using Twitter as a model. In case you don’t know (I'm sure you do, from your friendly English __teacher__), Twitter is a social networking site that allows people to keep up with each other by posting messages of “tweets” that are no more than 140 characters in length. Over the next few days, you will use Chapter 29, videos, and [|ABC-CLIO] to post “tweets” about the events, individuals, and ideas listed below. This will serve as your Civil Rights Era __study__ guide! Cut and paste the material below into a new page on your Unit 8 __Online__ Notebook, and tweet away. Make sure your tweets are complete and cover a great deal about the topic ... but are limited in size! Don't worry too much - 140 is just a ballpark figure. Hashtags (#) can be added to a few tweets to identify major topics or creative associations for the content you are describing. To gt super creative on a few, toss in a twitpic of the event or idea as well! Carefully examine the example and use it as a guide ...

(that’s 140 characters with a hashtag and a pic … and a pretty complete tweet!)
