Where the Red Fern Grows:
Twitter Questions

Description

This Twitter Questions unit contains more than 200 questions to prompt discussions about Wilson Rawls' Where the Red Fern Grows. These questions are meant to prompt discussions in a natural way, as the best discussions progress organically. Students have the opportunity to ask each other questions, to support each other's opinions, and to thoughtfully challenge these opinions. The same opportunities exist on Twitter.

This unit includes a thorough explanation of how to use Twitter in the classroom. Use it to promote the use of 21st Century Technology while studying traditional literature!
