Students then must find their small group (2-3 other students who watched the same video) and discuss in Spanish which characteristics they thought were present in the commercial.
Presentational: Students view one of the commercials and need to create a written ad that could be found in a magazine for the product shown in the commercial. They will then present the written ad to the class and show the commercial for that product.
