  3. I did enjoy creating our own propaganda commercials. My favorite part of creating them were planning out what we were going to do in the commercials because when we were planning many ideas were spreading and hearing all the ideas were fun to listen to and they added on to other people's personal ideas. I also enjoyed watching the end results because some actually were HILARIOUS and having all those classes see what we created made some people feel proud and happy of what they created in that short amount of time. I would recommend this activity for next year's seventh graders because since most people watch television, I think it's interesting to know more about what we watch.

  5. Yes, I did like the propaganda commercials and I did enjoy making them. I guess my favorite part would have to be acting it out, seeing the bloopers, and how good or bad we played the part we were supposed to. Even though it was very funny seeing how our commercials went I would not recommend giving this to the seventh graders next year.

  10. Yes I enjoyed making the commercial with my group. I had lots of fun. My favorite part was putting the commercial together. We were watching it over and over again, because it was really funny. I also like the part when we had to force one of the group member into a dress (lol) He looked really funny. I would recommend this for next year’s 7th graders, because it was really fun and we learned a lot from it.

  11. I definitely enjoyed making our commercial. My favorite part about making it would have to be… haha dumping “cheerios” on our star’s head. I also liked goofing around off camera and being silly on camera. I’m not sure how many people thought our commercial was actually funny but WE thought it was funny while we were making it, so that’s all that counts.:) I would totally recommend this activity for future 7th graders! They’d have tons of fun doing coming up with creative ideas for commercials, and they’d learn bunches about propaganda.

  12. I enjoyed making the commercial because i think it was a great expierence, and behind the scenes was a lot funnier than the commercial itself.
    I'm not really sure if i would reccomend it for next years seventh graders,
    a) because they can't measure up to us, (;
    and
    b)i don't understand the propaganda things any better than when we started, but i got a good laugh out of the unit (:

    it was fun, and i would reccomend it for entertainment, but if you really want them to understand, or if they have to take a test, i don't really reccomend them.

My favorite part was watching the commercials because it was interesting to see what the group had done to their voices, the speed of the video, etc. I would definitely recommend this project to the 7th graders next year. I think that they will enjoy it as much as we did!!!!

I do think the seventh graders should do that next year because it was a fun way to learn and act. It was also fun to see the other groups commercials. I had a lot of fun.

  20. I definitely enjoyed making our commercial. I’d have to say that my favorite part of making it would be… ha-ha dumping “cheerios” on our star’s head. I also liked goofing around off camera and acting silly on camera. I’m not sure how many people actually thought our video was funny, but we thought it was pretty hilarious while we were making it. And that’s all that counts. :) I would totally recommend this activity for future 7th graders. They’d have tons of fun making them and it’s a great way to learn about propaganda.
