Persuasive Commercials in WeVideo

The students in Mrs. Farmer’s class read Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. In this story, Peter’s father works in advertising and is struggling to write a commercial for one of the products, Juicy-O. To support their study of author’s purpose for writing and writing to persuade, the students were challenged to write a persuasive commercial to help Peter’s father. The students wrote their persuasive skit, created/brought any necessary props, and practiced acting out their commercial. Then they used the Dell Webcam on the classroom laptop to record their commercial. Next, we pulled their video into WeVideo where students learned about editing, adding a title, and layering on top of a video to create a finished product. Check out this great student sample!
