The students will begin a new unit over persuasion and advertising on Monday of this week. They were given the new study packet for their study folders last Friday in class. During this unit, the students will learn persuasive techniques and analyze commercials and ads for the use of these specific techniques. If you have extra magazines lying around your house that you would like to get rid of, I will gladly take your donation to use them in class. Some examples that would be appropriate are: Ladies Home Journal, Redbook, Southern Living, Better Homes and Gardens, Real Simple, Shape, Fitness, Golf Digest, etc..
Students will be bringing home their third Writing Warm-Up Packet this Tuesday for the quiz over this packet on Friday, October 18. I will hold the after-school extra study session for this quiz on Thursday, October 17.
