Title your post with (Your Name) Hundred Dollar Bill Y’all

Suppose you found a hundred bucks on the ground. As soon as you pick it up a genie pops up and says that you must give 40 of it to someone else and you may use 60 of it for yourself. If not, you will have to spend the rest of your life in the lamp with the Genie. (Please remember that in this situation, only you find the money. Not everyone else in the class.)

Who do you give the 40 to and what do you spend the 60 on? Why?

A quick run through of Pages, and then starting our first project, a poster advertising something about our school.

Remember the six important things about creating your ad.

• Attention grabbing: get the viewer to notice your ad

• Promise of Benefit: make the viewer think they will get something good out of your product/service

• Credibility: be believable

• Persuasiveness: Make a good argument

• Interest: keeping them looking

• Viewer/reader action: make them do something with the information

Your DogBlog Topic Today is: What do you do to make the world a better place everyday? It doesn’t have to be big things all the time, even the little things can make the world better. It doesn’t have to be things that are community wide or anything. It could be a one on one basis. Write a complete paragraph about it.
