We gave the student's some time at the beginning of the class to make some revisions and add to their commercials before we went over ad explained peer review and our expectations for that. I feel that we really needed to take more time than we did on going over peer review. We were able to get all the necessities or peer review in as well as what good and bad feedback looked liked but it was very brief and I think our students would have benefited from more time on that subject. After we we gave them time to peer review, we gave them time to look over their feedback they received and make changes accordingly. It was funny to see responses from groups once they got their feedback, some groups were upset, others were excited to make their commercials better and others were just yup, the feedback was accurate. My co-teacher and I then circulated and helped groups with corrections and answered an last minute questions before groups presented. We picked the order of the groups ahead of time so that their wouldn't be too much time wasted.....or so we thought.The first three groups were stoked to go first while the next couple dragged their feet to come up.Many groups wrote the script correctly but didn't perform with much enthusiasm. One group made a rap to go along with thier commercial and another made a dance. Overall the groups worked hard and did a great job with the format and persuasion aspect to this project.

Teaching a Prep Class on Wednesday 12-2-15
The second day of teaching did not go as well as the first day. Student's were very nervous and anxious and didn't really want to go up in front of the class to preform the commercials they made. To try and help calm their nerves, my co-teacher and I created a model of a commercial script and acted it out in front of the class using as much inflection and enthusiasm as possible.
