Students will watch a Youtube video from a Spanish news broadcast about "el lenguaje movil", text language. They will also read a transcript from the video and answer comprehension questions. There is a section in which they will translate text-speak to proper Spanish and vice-versa and a conversation section in which they will interpret a conversation that utilizes el lenguaje movil.
This lesson was great! I used it with my Spanish 3 students, and they loved it. They thought it was kind of difficult, but it was an engaging and fun challenge. Thanks!
