Analyzing Commercials

Hello,

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I was very pleased that many students came to school today with their favourite commercials from the Canadian and American broadcasts of the Super Bowl. We talked about what made the commercials interesting and memorable. We also discussed whether the commercial effectively identified the product to the consumer. Next, we looked at the commercials they had created, with a slightly smaller budget, and discussed whether their ads were effective as well.

In Math, we are continuing to work on angles. We are identifying and labelling various angles and measuring them. If you did not complete the worksheet handed out on Friday on the weekend, please finish it tonight.

We continue to work very well in groups with the other class. The students completed their second round of literature circle jobs on Friday and today we got together to decide on the various groups that need to be created to successfully complete our sandwich making entrepreneurship project in the coming months. We will continue to work on this project this Wednesday and the reading and jobs for the third literature circle meeting need to be completed for Friday.

Finally, don't forget your Olympic-themed questions for our guest speaker on Tuesday.

I will leave with a link to one of the class favourite from the Super Bowl, an "interesting" Doritos ad.

Have a great night.
