Further Exploration into Twitter Fiction

 

#engchat #edchat #mbedu #twitterficton

 



Last week we read two different types of Twitter Fiction. First there was the VSS (or very short story) and then there was the extended story "Russett: One Wing". Instead of Monday's usual Weekly Reflection, you will be doing some further exploration into Twitter Fiction.

(1) I want you to sign up for/create a "Professional" Twitter account.

(2) Follow Cre8tiveHavoc on Twitter

(3) Follow @narrator18 and read the interweaving Twitter Fiction storyline @christinabaland created based on a pre- existing novel.

(4) Explore the Twitter Fiction written by the students from last semester's CW class.

 

 

(5) At the end of class, come back to this post and add a comment containing:
- your professional Twitter account name
- your comments. reactions, likes, dislikes of the genre of Twiter Fiction

#engchat #twitterfiction #mbedu

Rough draft of Jennifer Eagan's Twitter Fiction Story "Black Box"

Characteristics of Twitter Fiction

· A story told via a twitter tweet/feed

· 140 characters or less (including spaces)

· May contain complete or fragmented sentences

· Contains imagery, language the appeals to the senses

· Acts as a “stand alone” idea, meaning it makes sense by itself, BUT

· Might be one in a series of tweets telling a story.

· Uses the hash tags #twitterfiction #twister #vss #140novel

Weekly Reflection #5

This week's Reading Reflection is just as you would expect it to be:

Reading Reflection (250 Words)
Remember to start your post with:

Reading Reflection #8

Book: Lone Wolf
Author: Jodi Picoult
Pages Read: 74-130
And fill your reflection with the usual questions, comments, predictions, connections, etc . . .


Also, we haven't had a chance to debrief about Newpspaper Blackout Poetry so your Writing Reflection will focus on this and be about 250 words in length this week:

Topics to discuss:

- Discuss the process of writing Newpaper Blackout Poetry. How did it go for you? What were some of the challenges and successes?

- What was unique about this way of writing (compared to the other types of writing we've done this semester?)

- What did you learn about yourself as a reader/writer/thinker?

- Other comments about this style of writing
