Movie next Sunday?

I AM NUMBER FOUR



Well, we made it home safely last night...what an amazing trip! I'm not too thrilled about all this snow though! I'm anxious to find out what you thought about our book selection. We need to find a time to go to the movie too. I'm sure it will be playing next week but if I get some responses this morning, we could make plans to go this afternoon at 4:20 or the 7ish show. If I don't hear from you this morning, I'll wait until Book Club tomorrow to set a date. Talk to you soon!!

Are we savvy consumers?



Companies spend billions every year on advertising. Are they actually getting anything back for it? How effective are they? In an age when you can fast forward through commercials, advertisers have to make their ad stand out from all the rest so you may want to watch it.
Find one television ad to critique. Provide a link so your classmates can view it as well. What is the product or service? Who is the target audience? What promise are they making? What techniques do they use in the ad? Are these techniques effective? Would you buy the product? What makes this ad stand out from all the others? Include your critique in your post along with the link.
Have a great day and a relaxing week off! I'll say hi to Mickey for you!! ;)
