Internet for Dummies, Wednesday 11/8, 3rd Period
There were several beakers on Abby's desk and she was pacing in front of them, her lab coat looking a little worse for wear.
"Morning, guys. I hope you enjoyed your week off and got lots of emailing done. Since next week we're going to be using chatrooms and instant messengers, we need to bone up on our netspeak." Abby gave a brief rundown of why internet slang was invented and then went to the board to write down a few of the basics. "You've got your BRB which means 'be right back' and your LOL which stands for laughing out loud. What are some of the ones you can think of?"
After the list was expanded, Abby nodded to the students. "Alright, I want you guys to write those down because you'll be using them next week in class. Now for a fun activity, we're going to have dramatic spam readings. You've had your email accounts long enough to get those weirdly poetic emails that don't make a lot of sense. But I think they're fun to read. Everyone who reads will get a chance to try one of my new Caf-Pow flavors; pumpkin spice or cranberry."
Abby waved a hand at the beakers and wrinkled her nose, so far none of them tasted good, but it's not as if it would hurt the kids.
