What do you need to put in your final 2 paragraphs, I hear you ask?
Dead simple.
1. You should ensure that you write a paragraph about your own experience of the medium named in the question. So, for the following mediums, you should just have a think about 1 paragraphs worth of example of unusual and strange langauge use you have witnessed in different contexts:
*SMS
*Snapchat
You can make it up/elaborate if you want to. Just ensure that you are able to talk for a PG about your personal experience, backed up with examples. So, if FB came up, I might have a few exaamples of how I talk to my friends, but then talk about how that differs if I'm talking to my mum on there or something. You might want to mention how memes have affected the way you talk, or 'in jokes' you have with your friends. All you need to do is to have one PG where you talk about your own experiences of the medium, using terms to back up what you're saying, and linking your points to multiple contexts.
If you are REALLY stuck for points to make, or you don't think your own experience of SMS of facebook is interesting enough, remember these stimulus texts that we have used in class, and analyse these instead. Some very unusual examples, particularly the 'wrong number' text, the SPAM text ad the text between the younger person and parent...
Also, if FB happens to come up, remember that we studied this HUGE argument from FB. There's all kinds of stuff you could drop in from here...
