Sections 1 and 2 are doing the ad as group projects.  They will be responsible for presenting the ad to the class before it is filmed, but each student is not writing his own piece.  Each group member must speak in the ad, and tomorrow I will discuss my high expectations for the ads.

Sections 3, 6, and 7 must write a script first.  Each student is writing up a proposal for an ad that is pretty much finished.  We will listen to these proposals and decide which ads will be presented.  Once the ads are chosen, groups will form to act out the ads for the camera.  I am finding that too many students are just watching others do the work.  I really want all students involved in writing an ad.  We have spent a lot of time preparing for this.  I want to see how it all comes together.
