So, insomnia struck again on a Sunday morning.
Twitter can be a truly inspiring resource. First, I found @ValaAfshar which led me to #MakeMeThinkIn5Words. I could explain the idea to you, but I think you get the gist. Here are a couple of examples that really made me think…and cry, and laugh.

Wouldn’t this be a great assignment for students? Have them develop a 5 word phrase that describes a concept they are learning in the classroom. Then have them use tools such as Canva or Giphy to create a graphic representation. Make sure they share their creations on Twitter using #MakeMeThinkIn5Words.
