Senior manager wants everyone to share our screen with him for the day so he can monitor what everybody is doing. I personally thing this is ridiculous. Can I ask him send this request in writing?

This is too much. It's called micro management. He will keep an eye on the team members for the day that means he doesn't have anything to do for entire day.

Lol.
Which team?

He won't have a problem giving it in writing, but asking him this will surely put you in a bad light. If this continues, I'd recommend you start searching for better opportunities outside or at least some other project.

This is very extra. I would definitely be very polite in any correspondence, but asking could be a risk that puts a target on you. Perhaps an email is best, and you can ask upper management to review reasoning for this. If they are a producing manager, then this doesn't seem like the best use of time, when performance can be monitored in other ways...like meeting deadlines etc

That sounds ridiculous. I would be so frustrated. Sorry you have to deal with that. Hopefully upper management can help you out.
