Table Top Twitter is a fun way for students to have a discussion. The only catch is that it is SILENT, and takes place completely on large poster paper. It's an alternate way to do a station rotation!

To set up the activity, you’ll need to copy the 10 large quotes and paste them onto larger poster size paper. Place one at each table or station. You will also need to project the directions onto your Smart Board, or make a copy of them and put them where students can see.

To begin this Tabletop Twitter, students will first read the quote, then write an insightful comment about the quote. I suggest that they can remark on the quote’s significance to the plot, theme, conflict, mood, setting, or characterization. I also insist that they cannot summarize the quote; instead, they must DELVE DEEPER and make an insightful comment! They may also put a hashtag comment for fun after their comment. After a set time you deem appropriate for your students has elapsed, direct them to silently move to the next station.

After visiting all 10 stations, students will return to the station where they began. They will read all the comments and come to a consensus about which comment was the most thought-provoking or insightful. They can also decide which hashtag was the cleverest. Afterwards, you can have them report out to the rest of the class, or do a gallery walk to the other tables to see the final products!
