Thinking in vain...

This scenario also went for 5th and 7th periods (both the same class like 1st and 3rd was). However, 4th period we only got once and these kids were supposed to be a "challenge" but they didn't take any crap. I showed them the ad for Battery Energy drink - they told me it was a bad idea because you weren't supposed to stick batteries in your mouth and the drink reminded them of battery acid. This prompted one guy to announce that battery acid burns when you lick it.

The second time we had the two classes we put them into groups, made them randomly pick (out of a plastic bag) a verb and a noun. This was their energy drink and they were to come up with a slogan and an ad. Just for fun. A lot of them were really cute/great/funny.

So I haven't gotten around to sitting down and reliving last Friday.

But I do have a picture. *lol*

This was a quick shot of one of the ads we had them do. 2 classes came twice (normally one period for writing and one for reading). So the first time I gave them my little presentation and we talked about ads I brought. The second time we had them do an ad.

They had to pick a verb and an animal and create an energy drink. That little copy up top reads, "more vitamins to keep you going."

Yeah, they see a lot of commercials.

On the down-side the majority of them thought it would be really cool to have ads on their buses.

Oh, and the Starburst guy was a real hit, I'm sure their other teachers LOVED me after that.
