Week 4 Homework

I saw this bug in Palmares the other day and thought it was cool.

Hi Everyone!

Here's your homework for this week. Please have it done by Friday at noon. If you're behind on the homework assignments for other weeks, please finish them, so your group partners can comment on your blogs. So:

#1: Read your group partners' blog posts from week 3 (remember you all had to choose from one of four topics). Please leave a constructive comment for each of your group partners.

#2: I'd like you to do a few exercises related to advertising: TEXTBOOK: p. 28, ex. 2; p. 29, ex. 4; WORKBOOK: p. 24 (all); p. 25 (all).

#3: Choose one of the proverbs below. Then, write a paragraph or two on your blog about the proverb. Mention why it's interesting to you and how you interpret it (rephrasing it in your own words, perhaps). Then, try to give us an example of a real instance when you've noticed that proverb in effect in your own life.

Thanks, and have a great week!
