In class, we’ll have a simulation of what it might be like to tweet from a meeting, press conference or event.

You can consider your tweets part of your notebook to help consolidate your work a little bit. You should be writing facts and details that are relevant to your story, and also something that is interesting to your readers.

Seymour Greenway Trail meeting

Some background will be handed out in class on the Seymour Greenway Trail plans. You’ll be live tweeting from a short public information session about the project.

Read through the background, look at the maps provided, and think about the types of information your readers might want to know.

We’ll play the video in class, and you should then use those details as you tweet from the meeting.
