Quest 2: Emoticons
Introduction
Texting is a great way to keep in touch with your friends and fellow agents. There are a couple of problems with it though. It is missing something that is vital to good communication: tone of voice and facial expression. Have you ever texted someone and they got mad at you? Texting, emails, and IM'ing are all ways that we can communicate without seeing or hearing each other. How can you convey meaning when you can't use these things? In one word, emoticons!
Odds are that you have seen them before. In fact, you might have even used them before. But how often do you use them? Which ones do you use? Are there many of them? Let's go find out.
Steps
1. Read this short article on emoticons.
2. Okay, next go to this web page and take a look at the list of emoticons.
3. To complete this quest you are going to make a table. Talk to your SSI Department Chief to discuss what type of program you should use to do this. Make a table with two columns. Label one column "symbol" and the other column "meaning". Now, pick 10 of them that you think that you could use in your texting and fill out the table. Have fun! Your SSI Department Chief will tell you what to do with it.
Extra Credit:
If you get done early, why don't you have some fun with emoticons. You can make a short story with them or maybe just a couple of sentences using emoticons and words together.
