What about texting?

Text a Friend!

So, you just arrived at your vacation

destination! Use one of the pictures to the right and your knowledge from social studies class to text a friend about a site you’re seeing using the text language you usually

would.

Describe either the people, place, food, or how you feel. If you have been somewhere you would like to share other than one of these pictures you may do so.

Final note: You only have a limited number of text messages. Keep it short and sweet, but say enough to express your self. You have approximately 3 minutes…Go.
