The process to complete the task: 1. You will be placed in groups by your teacher within your school. 2. Begin communicating with your groups and start working immediately. Be sure that you are achieving all the minimum requirements to complete the project. 4. Decide on the product and who will do which parts of the infomercial within your group. Also decide what method you will be using to create the infomercial (googlesites, voicethread, googledocs, youtube, other). 5. Begin writing. **DO NOT USE A TRANSLATOR!****!!** 6. As a group, write and produce your own informercial. 7.

Be sure to watch copyright information (songs etc) as youtube will not allow us to upload copyright infringed items.

Now the fun begins! Your product will be on display for students in other schools to "purchase". Individually you will contact the group with the item that you wish to "purchase". You will write a letter to the company inquiring information of the product and your order.

The group will produce a podcast with directions on "how-to-use" directions with the product and send the actual item to the individuals who order. (the teacher of course will submit orders in one package).

You will want to do your best and be the most creative so that your product is purchased! Each group will have to make a "prototype" of what will be sent and each group MUST make a podcast of directions.

Assessment will include pronunciation, successful completion of minimum requirements, creativity, communicate via the wiki discussion
