Tuesday January 5th

7th & 8th Grade General Science: In science students were introduced to the next activity which is entitled "Selling the Elements." Today, students were involved in a discussion about how advertisements are put together, and what they are trying to get across to the consumer. Students were handed a worksheet and asked to find an ad in a magazine and describe the target audience, whether the ad is targeting Ethos (ethics), Pathos (emotions), or Logos (logic). This assignment should have been completed in class, and if not, it is homework as it is due first thing Wednesday morning.
