Writing

Friendship Tweet

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A tweet can only be 140 characters long, including spaces. Challenge class members to write a positive note to one or more of their peers in 140 characters or less. It is a great activity to give on Valentine's Day to upper elementary writers to reinforce sentence structure and syntax skills.
