Generally smaller assignments and grammar activities which take place during class.

Write at least 500 words and include: • A link to the commercial and a short summary of it. Describe what happens in the commercial. • What was the commercial about? What product is it trying to sell? • How is the product being sold? Discuss in what ways the product is advertised, why should anyone purchase the product according to the advertisement? • Who is the target audience for the commercial? • Does the advertisement compare the product to a similar product? If so, why? • In your opinion, is it a good commercial? Is it effective? Would the commercial persuade you to purchase the product? • Is it problematic in any way? Perhaps it tries to sell us things we do not need? Perhaps it implies that we are not good enough without the product or is insulting in some way? Perhaps the message is sexist, racist or ableist?

ENGENG06: Today's Topic

Each student prepares a topic for discussion in class. That student is then responsible for overseeing the discussions and directing their classmates' discussions about the topic in class. One or more students will be chosen randomly at the beginning of class to take charge of "Today's Topic". It's important to choose a question for your topic that doesn't have just one answer. The discussions should take about 10 minutes - and it's the student in charge's job to make sure to fill that time. That means taking control of the discussions and adding additional information and thoughts if your classmates have a hard time continuing discussions. After completing their assignment in class each student turns in: 1. The topic and the questions used in the assignment. 2. A short comment on their performance leading the discussions. What went well? What was difficult? What could you do better next time?
