A week or so ago when we were studying about the industrial revolution, I gave my students an assignment to create an ad for either the Spinning Jenny or the Cotton Gin. The instructions were to create an ad on a blank white paper. It needed to compel the reader to buy it. It also needed a picture (I mean, how else were we going to know what we were buying?).
Today, late, in the turn in basket I received a final ad for the Spinning Jenny. On a blank white paper, in his best 6th grade handwriting, sans picture, it reads:
Buy the Spinning Jenny!!!
•Faster than ever!
•Easy to operate!
•Useful
•Incredibly Hard To Draw!
Available for a limited time only.
GET Yours Today!!!
I mean, I'd buy it. Wouldn't you?
