Hello Readers!

This week is going to be fun for posting! In preparation for our next unit, I'd like you to think of a commercial that sticks out in your mind. When you respond, please tell me what the commercial is for and why it sticks out in your mind. Try to tell me what this company did in their commercial to persuade you to buy or use their product. :)
