What to do:

Summarise a piece of literature into a tweet or less than 140 characters!
Use hashtags and @’s!
Others have to then guess what to book is!
They could then explain why those words were used in the clues? Their relevance? Importance?
Create an entire quiz and hand out to tutors to complete.
Challenge students to create them for each other?

Variations:


Do the same for poetry? Key concepts? Other subjects!
