Teacher script: "Good morning class! I want to share something interesting that happened yesterday. My friend's daughter, who is your age, received two very different messages about the same event. One was from her school principal: 'Dear students, we are pleased to announce the annual science fair will take place on November 15th. Formal applications should be submitted by October 30th.' The other was from her best friend: 'OMG! Science fair's coming! Wanna team up? We gotta register ASAP!!!' Why do you think these messages sound so different? Turn to your partner and discuss for one minute."

Expected responses: "One uses complete sentences," "The friend uses abbreviations," "The principal sounds serious," "The friend message has exclamation marks" |
