RAE New Spanish Words

I just saw this post on Pinterest, about the new words that RAE (Real Academia Española = Royal Spanish Academy) has introduced into their dictionary. They're the group of officials who are appointed to oversee the development and usage of the Spanish language. Here's the link to an article: http://www.eltiempo.com/multimedia/fotos/cultyentrete2/las-nuevas-palabras-que-integran-la-edicion-23-del-diccionario-de-la-rae-/14695573 A quick idea that I thought of: Have your native / heritage speakers explore these words and make a PowerPoint/book on interesting words.  Extra credit assignment (I use the RAE info as an extra credit assignment. I'll add it up here soon).  What do you think? How can you use this in your classrooms?
