The commercials must be school appropriate and contain information about the country or a product sold by that country. Only one country can be used per class.

Directions This is an out of class project, you will be allowed to work on this during free time but the majority will come from out of class. Once a week I will ask you to break into your group to evaluate were you are at. You will be given grades several times throughout the semester.

Directions I will be available for help before and after school. Once you have it recorded I will help you download the video if needed. You will grade each individuals performance within your group. If problems arise come and visit with me. The Producer oversees the new cast and needs to take a leadership role.
