Depending on the topic you want to work on in the classroom, the teacher assigns the roles of the characters you want them to interact with or let the students themselves choose from the parameters established for the activity. The teacher stipulates the rules of the activity in the first session:

• The student has to study the character assigned to them as much as possible: background, type of language they use, reasons for which they are recognized, etc.
• The student must record this process of immersion in a log (printed or digital).
• The activity will reward, on the one hand, student participation, both in the development of their own tweets and in the interaction they get with the other characters (in this sense, it is very important to ask others questions, refute arguments, etc.).

(55’-110’).

The characters will be selected depending on the subject that is being taught: literary characters and writers for the Language and Literature classes; historical characters for Social Sciences; scientists and technologists for Science / Technology classes; Philosophers for the Ethics / Philosophy classes, etc.

It is recommended that the users and passwords of the profiles be controlled by the teacher in order to put the privacy as "private", so that the messages can only be seen among the members of the group.

The teacher launches a topic that the students want to discuss and marks it as a Twitter tag (hashtag). It is important that students use the hashtag when they write their messages to be able to control the content. For example: if we are talking about the work of Shakespeare and each student represents a character, the theme can be #loyalty or #love

If the teacher considers it appropriate, the characters can also be interspersed among the students in the different sessions.

(Duration: variable, this will depend on the sessions in which you want to work and if you respond to messages outside the classroom).

In each session, a different theme will be launched in the hashtag. The activity will end when the teacher considers that the topic has been addressed or they no longer want to continue using this type of activity in the classroom.

It is suggested that students make an oral presentation that summarizes their best contributions (using, for example, a timeline in Storify (110’-165’).
