This lesson on texting abbreviations begins with a warm-up. Students use their phones to find a text they sent recently and talk about it. Then, students read some scenarios (e.g. making dinner plans, apologising). They explain if they would rather a) call, b) text, or c) text and then call. After that, students discuss general questions about texting. Next, they match halves to create sentences about texting habits. After that, students watch the video. Before watching it, they look at different responses to a text as featured in the video, and say which response(s) might be passive aggressive (e.g. ‘Sure!’ vs ‘Sure…’) Then, they watch the first part of the video and find out. Next, students watch the second part of the video. Students look at another text and match the responses with what they really mean, according to the speaker in the video.
