• Good job on getting your commercial ready for MOTM last Friday. Be sure to ask Ms.Compton to play it the next two Fridays as well!
• Don't forget to wear your t-shirts on Monday as a group, and those who are selling at lunch, should wear theirs as well, even if it is just for the lunch break!
• You need to continue making posters and putting them up
• You will start your sales presentation preparation (instructions to come on Monday or Tuesday)

Moffat Park Enterprises

• You need to finish your commercial and get it ready for MOTM. The deadline is WEDNESDAY for this Friday's show!
• You need to buy colored paper for your posters. I will photocopy them for you but you need something other than white paper to make them stand out.
• You need to finalize your sign up sheets, fliers, registration forms, etc.and print one of each off for me. I can photocopy them for you.

This will be a busy week. You need to all be here everyday and on time!

Week of May 7-12th

Hi Class,

This week is crucial to the success of your businesses, as both groups should be working on creating their ad campaign now. This includes: posters, a brochure, daily announcements, submissions to the hallway TVs, possibly creating a social media webpage, and definitely creating a commercial for Matheson on the Move!!

Flex Co.

• Good job getting your business plan completed and in to me last week. I'll mark it this week.
• This week your focus is on getting your commercial filmed, edited, and submitted to Ms.Compton for Matheson on the Move.....hopefully for this Friday's episode. Check with her what the deadline for submissions is.
• You must also create your large posters and get your regular posters printed to start putting up next week at the latest
• Your aim is to start selling/taking orders by Monday May 14th, which is only a week away!

Moffat Park Enterprises

• Your business plan is slowly but surely coming together, which is great, however, it cannot be at the expense of your ad campaign! You need to get on creating posters and a commercial before it is too late. Your event will be a success if you work together and create 'hype' for your event. The only way to do that though is with a strong ad campaign! 
• You need to create awareness and encourage teams to register for your tournament, so you have to be ready for them. This means you need to create the following THIS WEEK:
• Information flyers to pass out at lunch
• Registration Info Sheet + Game Rules
• Registration Sheet (for teams to complete with student names, team name, and record of payment)
• General Tournament Sign Up Sheet
• Tournament Standings Board (poster board)

Remember what I said....you'll only get out of this project what you are willing to put in in effort!

Good luck and see you in class!
