Benny's Lightening Wheels!

Benny wrote and produced his commercial for a remote-controled car called Lightening Wheels. With the help of Mr. Fenton, he added a special effect. The kids all used iMovie for their commercials. He used the Toys R Us logo to show where Lightening Wheels is available.

Griselda's Commercial

Griselda wrote a commercial for Butterfinger with a girl making a new friend and sharing her candy. Griselda and Benny star in this one.

CJ's Kit Kat Commercial

CJ wrote and did a story board about a student working hard on at TAKS test and being rewarded with a Kit Kat candy bar.
CJ is the student. Josh plays the teacher. Josh also ran camera for the parts that he was not in. That's Benny shaking his hips in the later scene.

Mr. Hales Advertising Agency


Today we began our advertising agency. Having spent 20 years in radio and TV I have written and produced 100's of commercials. Writing a :30 commercial packs a lot of information in a short space so the students have to sharpen their writing skills.
When we get finished writing, the students will record their radio commercials and we will post them here on the web page.
After we complete our radio commercials, we will work on writing and producing a television commercial which we will also place here.
