The instructor and the class set up an email texting system in case of bad weather, storm, or other type of delay or cancellation of the class. Cory is the contact (Aura is the backup) and the instructor will call her and Cory or Aura will text the rest of the class. The instructor will also post on the blog and students may check that before class, too.
Instructor asked class about the Kennedy book and few students had read the assignment because they don’t have the book. One student said he had ordered this book for $9 online. It is imperative to get the book immediately because all writing for the portfolio must be roughed out in October.
Binders: Correct the questionnaire and put it in the binder.. In addition students should get as many as possible to take the questionnaire.
Newspaper ad: We went over student ideas for newspaper ads and the instructor showed how to make them more effective. We showed the ads on the overhead projector. Then we went to the lab and the instructor worked with students in writing and laying out the newspaper ad.
To Do for Next Class
Kennedy 99-108
Write outline for the sales letter
Finish questionnaire and send out emails telling people to take the questionnaire. Final copy for grade. Hand in.
Put finishing touches on newspaper ad and have it ready to hand in next week for a grade. In some cases an extra week will be granted for this assignment.
Note to students: after class, some students suggested we do these ads in the Mac lab, so we will probably do that next or the following week.
