It Was An Ordinary Day in B Reading

By Pamela den Ouden

It was an ordinary day in B Reading class. Our text for the day was a selection about marketing, products, naming new products, and advertising. It was a perfect opportunity for group work. A bit a shuffling to get people settled in their groups, and they were ready for the assignment. Here's what they had to do:

Create a product--either a snack food or a drink--give it a name, make an ad.

This type of work in class calls for a lot of creativity, and the students were certainly up to the task, as you can see below.









In addition to the print ad, they also made a 30-second radio commercial. I'm still looking for a way to upload the sound files.

The synergy and energy of the students turned an ordinary day into an extraordinary experience for all of us.

Come to think of it, the extraordinary is the ordinary in this class!
