Superbowl Commercial Activity

So Superbowl Sunday is coming up and even though I am not a sports fan I cannot forget about it in my class. I thought it would be a fun writing/creative activity for my students to create a Superbowl commercial. This will be a group project. I supply the products for the students to advertise. Each group will be given a product and they must create a commercial for that product. This project will take a few days to complete. On the first day the students will brainstorm and complete a graphic organizer. The second day the students will write out the scripts.  The third day the students will be able to make props for the commercial. And the final day the groups will act out their commercial and I will record it using a flip camera. The next day I will show the commercials on our smart board.

  Some guidelines that I have set up for this project is that the commercial has to be within 30-45 seconds (I tell them that they only have enough money to buy that amount of air time), all members of the group must be in the commercial, and all parts of the project (graphic organizer, scrips, props, final product) will be graded. I think this will be a fun and interesting project for my students, let me know if you have any fun Superbowl project ideas.
