About this resource

What's inside this resource

The use of social media is a great way to engage and gain the interest of your students. Best of all, this resource is available in both printable pdf format as well as a Google Slides editable format. This Twitter template allows students to add text and pictures to a “Twitter Template”. The template is locked, so your students can’t mistakenly move or delete the background. It comes with a “5 Tweet Template” with instructions and two blank Twitter templates.

Use this to:

Have your students discuss a character or setting in a novel
Focus on a historical person
Focus on a Geographic area
Use it in science and have your students record their information

When your students are finished, they can save a picture of their Twitter template.
