It was planned chaos in my classroom today. After analyzing and evaluating commercials, students were now ready to apply all they knew about persuasive techniques by forming groups, choosing a product to brand and market, and creating a commercial of their own.
An array of three dozen colorful, if perplexing, gadgets were laid upon a table and ceremoniously unveiled. A spin of the wheel determined when each group got to choose, and when the selections were through, trades and additions were welcome.
The kids didn't need to know what each item actually was; in fact it was better if they didn't. Imagination is a premium for this project, and so the sooner you believe a silicone dish rack is a portable grill to be sold with the slogan You go grill!, the better off you'll be.
