CREATIVE WRITING: TEXTING BUNDLE

Texting plays a significant role in most teenager's lives. These resources allow teachers to take something that students love and turn it into a learning experience! This bundle can help students think inferentially, manipulate language, edit errors in grammar/punctuation, and demonstrate creative expression!

INCLUDED IN YOUR PURCHASE:

TEXT MESSAGE INFERENCES:

This unique activity is a fun way to get your students thinking inferentially. The students will be required to read a text message between two people and infer meaning from it. They will be required to infer who the people are, what their relationship is, where they are, and what kind of personality they have. 

• Ten "text message" worksheets with pre-made conversations. 

• Two different templates of blank cell phones that students can fill in with their own conversations. They can have a partner complete their worksheet! 

Please note that this product is also included in my Inference Bundle (see link at bottom).

Students will have the chance to manipulate language and use 'text speak' in a fun activity. 

• A 26 slide Powerpoint presentation which includes discussion questions, information about the evolution of texting and text speak, examples of text lingo, video, and much more!
