Roller Coaster Persuasion Mania!

We have been working on being presenters as part of our Persuasion Unit. You guys and gals have been doing better and better at presenting an idea and "selling" that product to potential buyers (classmates). I am so impressed with the amount of details and persuasion tactics you incorporate into your PowerPoints and models.

Remember that the way things LOOK is very important. You must add details that will bring your work to life and create emotions in your audience. AND most importantly, the work you present should always be what someone in your grade level should be doing-effort!

Take a look at your classmates roller coaster models. Totally awesome!

Inventors of the Future!

I was totally blown away at the detailed PowerPoints, creative Live commercials, and your inventions. You guys and gals went out of your way to be persuasive, engaging, entertaining, and thorough. Considering this was your first try at creating an invention that would be both practical and purposeful, you all did an extraordinary job. I can't wait to see your roller coasters of the future.



I also included Fernanda's PowerPoint as a great example at providing thorough information.



Here is Daniela's really cool commercial.

Goodnight Goon

Have you ever read the story Goodnight Moon written by Margaret Wise Brown?  Well, there is a monsterized parody of this beloved classic by Michael Rex called Goodnight Goon. There is a free ebook that you can read from We Give Books that is perfect to read during the month of October. If you have younger siblings, don't forget to let them enjoy it with you. Simply click on the picture below and enjoy this petrifying parody.
