Today, we went over the vocabulary and completed question #8 on the question sheet for "The Monkey's Paw". Students were then given a crossword for Tuesday's spelling words. Please complete it for Monday.
Finally, students were also told to create a flyer advertising the monkey's paw. This flyer needs to include typical messages found in advertisements about why buyers would want this item. Look at flyers in newspapers this weekend for ideas. Also, the flyer needs to include a disclaimer about the possible consequences of the paw (Think about ads seen on television advertising different medicines and the warnings tacked on about the meds in the final few seconds). Finally, the flyers also need to be visually pleasing in order to attract prospective buyers. This ad is due on Wednesday, February 19th.
