Presentations

See guidelines sheet.

Presentations on summaries are an excellent idea.  Do it again next year - definitely.  Perhaps warn students earlier or add a step to increase depth.

However, the best presentations were excellent.  Prezi is a good tool for minimizing text.

Advertising

Next year remember to include the specific differences between High concept and Low concept advertising.

The four strategies project is excellent.  Retain exemplars!

Consider using fundraising campaigns as examples:  ie SPCA, Unicef .... Compare them, which are the most successful.  Why?  Analyse - so many of these girls are SPCA suckers!
