Want to be Twitter Famous?  Below  are  examples  of  different  categories  of  ‘Tweets’  Informative  Ex:  New  Article  on  availability  of  #condoms  in  #Chicago  public  schools.  Spoiler:  only  1  in  20  schools  have  them.  http://bit.ly/example  

Provocative  Ex:  Sometimes  it  seems  like  #CPS  students  might  make  better  leaders  than  our  school  board.      

                                       

   

Open-­‐Ended  Ex:  We’re  building  a  #healthmovement.  #Chicago,  What  do  you  do  to  get  healthy?  

Conversational  Ex:  Hey  @maryschmich,  thanks  for  covering  student  experience  in  Chicago.  Have  you  seen  what  some  youth  at  Fenger  High  School  are  doing  to  make  their  school  healthier?
