1. Test content knowledge using casual writing as a medium(Example: Explain mitosis in 154 characters)

2. Teaching casual writing as a skill (Standards could be for style, audience, or reading/ writing skill)

Assessment could then take the form of a blog post with specific criteria for students.

3. Exit tweet #thirdperiod (formative assessment)

Varies, but text can be a range from very casual (acronyms, slang, improper punctuation) to more formal.

Can also include pictures, video, music, and other formats
