Unit 6.1 Vocab: La comida

Un anuncio para tu puesto

You are going to make an advertisement for your stand in your market. This will be done individually. You may use your notes, but this will be very similar to the "anuncio" that you will do on the day the project is due, without notes. Look at this as practice and ask me if you have any questions as to how to do this. Use your vocabulary lists, not Google Translate. The anuncio needs to have:

---

1. the name of your "puesto"
2. picture and name of the products that you sell (have a minimum of 3 different products)
3. description of each of the products (size, color, origin, etc.)
4. what are the deals or offers that you are advertising?
5. what makes your item(s) unique or special (handmade, rare, authentic?)
6. make a comparison to another store or stand (can be real or made up) (ie. price, quality, quantity, etc.)
7. needs to be in color and in Spanish, including illustrations of your stand/product and what you are selling.

This anuncio needs to be turned in before class is over. If you are absent, bring it to your next class. Next class you will be filming your commercial, which will be due the following class (4/17 or 4/18).
