Note: You can not add an attachment to a message template. Download a PDF of this online book from the in the table of contents. My 9th grade Spanish students were completely engaged when I showed them this oh-so-familiar screenshot of an iPhone texting conversation. Print it out and have students 'send messages' to one another about class content, in the target language (for foreign language teachers), etc. By writing in the speech bubbles. Great as an in-class activity or exit slip! As a Spanish teacher myself, ideally this will encourage them to actually use their language knowledge with their friends outside of the classroom as well:] Have fun, let me know how you used this template!
