Today
We continued with the Media literacy presentations. Tomorrow we will finish these presentations once and for all and begin our commercial making project.


Today: ( sections 3,5,6,7)

We began our commercial making project. Students are required to work in small groups to create a commercial that demonstrates 3 advertising techniques. The commercial is for a string of decorative lights. The students must use the technique of diversion within their commercial and are required to pick two other techniques from which they have learned.

Students got to pick their small groups today. My hope is that this will allow them to develop more creative projects and have more fun working; if they are allowed to work with their friends.

The project's guidelines have been established and students received a guideline handout with the project's rules and the contest rules.
