First day brainstorming of the commercial of the future today 8B

Today we worked on our commercials. We learned how to persuade people and to entertain people. We made beautiful props to use in our commercials. We summarized the lesson together, and now we are blogging. The things we are excited to do on Monday are the following:
-Bringing in fun props
-Record our work
-Show the class my picture of a beast

We had a lot of fun in class and a joyful day in school. :-D

Preparing for the commercials 8A

Working on the commercial we brainstormed ideas, and we practiced acting it out after we finished the script. We wrote the script, but we made it a general outline so that it is flexible.

Commercial making behind the scenes with 7B

Today we go into groups and we made posters and started thinking about ideas for our scripts. We were talking about how we will act in our commercials, and what extra things we would like to add i.e song, dance, prop etc... We really had to think about ourselves and our personalities, and how to put that in our commercial. We had lots of fun.

Brainstorming for our commericals 7A

Today we all got into groups and decided what kind of things we would do for our commercial. We decided what we will do, say, and how we will say it during the commercial. We also talked about music and props for the production. We began creating some of the props, and writing our script. We will be graded on content, extras, and entertainment value so we are working hard to make our commercials entertaining.
