ACTIVITY 1: LEARN IT
Online Discussion
Why do you think companies and businesses spend money advertising on billboards? Do you know? Go to our Google Classroom by clicking on the icon to the left. Go to the Lesson 8, Class Discussion. One partner will answer online for both of you. Answer the question and support your answer with facts.
Remember that online discussions are meant to help each other see different points of view. Keep the conversation positive. It is ok to disagree, but do so politely and explain why. On that same note, don't simply tell someone you agree with them either. You must explain why you agree with them. Please keep the conversation on topic. Do not post silly comments. You will only have 5 minutes to do this activity. |
