Today in class we looked at the famous "Somewhere West of Laramie" car advertisement. This is a photo I took of some multicolored cars in Bogota, Colombia in 2009 (the cars happen to be the colors as the flag of the country).
Dear class,
It was good to see everyone again in class! We continued looking at the Roaring 20s and how advertising became a major innovation in American business. Here's what happened in class today:

The Business of America
Advertising
Work Time
News Brief: I had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: KGW.com - Jury deliberations underway in MAX stabbing trial. After discussing the story, we also checked in to see if anyone was up to anything interesting or fun outside of class.
Yoshi was assigned to do the next news brief.
Today's Black History Month fact is that Malcolm X was killed on February 21, 1965, at the age of 39. We learned about Malcolm X during our civil rights unit and he has obviously had a lasting impact on America.
As part of the news brief, we also watched the one minute BBC World News update. Here's the link to see the latest one minute update, at any time of day (it will probably be different from what we watched in class):

Business of America: To continue our rhythm with this unit of notes then an activity, we looked at how business changed during 1920s America. The presentation we went through in class as students took Cornell Notes is here:
Through this presentation, we learned about the impact of mass advertising and new consumer products.
Advertising: The activity that I introduced in class related to the Business of America notes is here:
This assignment is based on choosing a product from the last slide from this presentation:
Google Slides - The Business of America in the 1920s PowerPoint
Students were assigned a product in class to create an advertisement for. If you missed class, you can select a product from the last slide to focus on. Here's the list of what students selected in class:
Work Time: The rest of class was spent working on the advertising assignment, which is due at the start of class on Friday (there will be a work day on Wednesday). Please let me know if you have any questions - I am looking forward to seeing what you can come up with!
