The student worked on an advertising unit in German class where they learned about persuasive language and techniques used in advertising. Their group created an energy drink called Mixi targeted at people over 10 years old. They felt their presentation went well but they could have been more creative. The student enjoyed working in a group and presenting their product, learning advertising terms. However, translating words was less enjoyable due to classmates goofing off.
