Goals

- You know the difference in your use of language in an online and offline situation.

- You are more aware of how you express yourself on social media. 

How many hours a day do you think you spend on social media?

Now, on your phone, check how much time you actually spend on certain apps.
- Which apps do you spend the most time on?
- Is there anything that surprises you when you see this?

Have a look at your WhatsApp, how do you use language online differently?

How would you say it?

We are going to look at different situations where you use language. You are going to say something as if you were in that situation.

You just did bad on a history test, your classmate asks how it went. What do you say?

You come home after you did bad on a history test. Your mother asks how it went. What do you say?

A friend sends you a funny video via WhatsApp, how do you respond?

A friend messages you to ask if you want to go see a film together. However, you still need to do your homework, what do you say?

Your mother messages you to remind you to clean your room, what do you say?

How does the way you use language change when you are messaging someone, instead of speaking to them in person?
