Multiliteracies in ELA Classrooms

Les Misérables told through Twitter text

July 15th, 2013 · No Comments

This is one of the projects from my Grade 9 Challenge class. We did Les Misérables as a novel and for their final story two of the students told the novel through Twitter interactions.
From twitter, the account is: jeanvaljean0418     (that’s a zero)
the password is: lesmis1234

Message from the students:”It would be best if you went to the very bottom of the timeline and read your way up to see Les Mis retold through Tweets. You can view the individual accounts of the main characters by going to Jean Valjean’s ‘following’ and clicking on their accounts”

I think it’s interesting that Melanie brought up the story of her teacher not accepting her paper written through MSN messenger because through reading this project, I felt my students had such an amazing grasp on the novel that they were able to take the text and re-write it very humorously. They were able to the important parts of the text and write it in a very limited character space.

Enjoy!
