This was a picture sent to me by a student who was abroad. She was traveling with a group and came across some things in Latin. After sending this and asking, she and I engaged together so that she could figure out what it meant. 

Another student, who was also in Europe, sent another picture of statues with Latin inscriptions and of important figures. ​

​This conversation did not take place in SnapChat but, rather, was shared with me via SnapChat. This was common in my Latin II classes, but this one in particular is of interest because it is between a Latin I and Latin II student. This conversation was unprompted by the teachers and truly shows an enthusiasm and interest in the language that is of a student's own design. 

While the conversation does have minor spelling errors, what is most important is that these students, who are on different levels, were able to communicate on a basic level and support each other. 

Translation:
S1 - Hello!
S2 - Hello friend!
S1 - How are you?
S2 - I am well, and you?
S1 - Well! Good bye!
S2 - Oh no! 

Students were completing a task while I was absent. Students were discussing their family members and which qualities they liked or disliked in each. 

In this image, students are sharing part of their conversation (they were to share videos and images). The question asks, "For whom in your family are you used to showing anger?" This group has responded that one of them shows anger to their brother while the other shows anger to their mom and sisters. 

Additionally, this group has used a variety of stickers to demonstrate understanding of the sentence, and marked their discussion using the drawing function. ​

a second example from this group shows answers for a question that asks who they think is the best in the family. One members answer themselves, while the other say the entire family was. 

Students again made use of stickers, but in this case it reflects their conversation more than the question. ​

On the second day of sub plans, I asked students to share videos or images of the questions they thought might appear on the final exam based on the readings we had been working with. 

One of the things I like about using SnapChat is that it allows students to show their skills without requiring that they be in the image or that they be the in the center of things. 

As in the first image from the QR Code Dictation, as well as the first image from the Task discussion, and this one, students hid their faces or took images of other objects while still completing what was asked of them in a proficient way. ​

Students were asked to snap parts of a story and send them back to the teacher. In this part, the false king "Pelius" is angry with Jason and sends him on a journey to the golden fleece. The student not only used SnapChat, but also made use of stickers within the app to show the emotion of the scene. ​

In another part of this story, student had to identify a family line. These students have used the drawing function on the SnapChat app to not only label each character, but show the generations of the family line, along with their physical positions in relation to each other. ​
