Spring Break is upon us

This last week I wanted to do something that would be student led and not cause me a ton of stress. To finish off our persuasion/argument unit, I had my students create a unique product and then make a power point to advertise it. When I was gone for the teacher fair, they made prototype They spent all week writing their power points and inlcuded the following sections:

• Celebrity Endorsements
• Product Description 
• Target Audience 
• History of the Company 
• 3 Reasons why someone should buy their product

 Yesterday they all presented, and it was a huge success. Here are a few pictures of their very creative projects:

Here we see the Bender Binder (a binder that shrinks so as to fit in your pocket), the iPhone 7 (see-through so as to allow you not to trip as you walk and text), the robo-hat and a futuristic TV.

This is the Money Tree. Their slogan was "Grow, Harvest, Invest." :)  

Purposeful Pocket Purse and a fashion shovel. The ladies who created the fashion shovel had Luke Bryan (country singer) as their celebrity endorser and quoted him as saying, "I'm so glad I can still look sexy while diggin it."   :)

The Everything Kit (stores everything you need for school). YES PLEASE!

Animal deodorant. Here you see Creamy Kitty and Dogxibo for your lovable pets.

I was impressed with the creativity, but I was also pleased with their persuasive abilities. I think it was a job well done.

Now its time to relax and enjoy spring break (Oh, and yes I still have Outsider essays to grade over vacation....grrrr.....)
