Writers also respond sometimes. I set up a Twitter account for my library. Today, Jenny Han, author of The Summer I Turned Pretty, asked her followers who should play Conrad in the movie. I asked the students in the library that hour. The students were so excited when Jenny tweeted back!
Twitter allows classes to connect with the world outside of
the four walls of their classroom or library. It can show students how others struggle with writing and
make it through to the end. Also,
the writers of the novels become more human. Twitter is a significant tool that can have a meaningful
impact on students.
