I just finished sending out grades in Edline. If you didn't receive a report please come and talk to me. In addition to that. If you have any questions about your grade please let me know. I'd be happy to discuss it with you.
With regard to the Wall Street Journal article that I assigned the first week of class. There are some of you who did not turn those in. Please make sure that you get that done. The instructions are on this blog on the post dated September 8th and titled "I always feel like somebody's watching me."

Visual projects and visual marketing
In Sports and Entertainment Marketing, we learned about core products and ancillary products and how all of this makes sports and entertainment marketing different from traditional product marketing. Tomorrow we'll use this knowledge to expand product offerings for our football teams.
In Intro. to Marketing we have spent the last 3 days talking about different types of market segmentation. The kids went into the lab today, and will be in there on Friday as well to put together a visual representation of the 4 methods that we've talked about. I haven't given a lot of instruction on this because I don't want them following some boring template. I want them to get creative. The only rule is that they need to give two examples of each method.
In the school store, we just received the new Red Alert shirts. We will be unveiling them during passing time between 1st and 2nd hours tomorrow and selling them during all lunches in the school store. The price is $8. Checks need to be made out to Athens High School.

I am still alive
Sorry about not having posted since last week. Here's what's going on:
Sports and entertainment had a brief in-class assignment today. By the way, my fantasy football team got their first of many wins this season.
Intro to marketing: Each student needs to log onto www.americasmarketinghighschool.org and sign up for an account. This is an easy 20 point assignment. We also talked about psychographics as well as Black Purchasing Power.
School stor opened successfully today. The Red Alert shirts arrived today and will go on sale for $8 on Friday. Expect a big event.

Test Tomorrow
Oooh this is a late post, but here goes.
Intro. to Marketing and Sports and Entertainment Marketing both have tests this Friday. I gave out review sheets to all of the kids. If the complete the review sheet and hand it in before the test tomorrow, I will give them one point of extra credit on the test. That's equivalent to 4%.
In the school store we worked on cash register training. We opened up the store for parents last night at open house. We did $700 in sales. Great work guys. I'm really looking forward to the grand opening next Wednesday.
It was great meeting all of the parents last night. Honestly, we really have great kids in my classes. Great job parents.
FYI, I have been getting a bunch of grades together. I will be posting those this weekend. Sorry for the delay.

Open House
It's Open House tonight at Athens High School. I hope all of our parents make it. The kids say that they don't want their parents to show up at stuff like this or conferences. Truly that's a bunch of crap. Students want their parents to be there, because they know that it's a sign that their parents care.
Just announced tests in both my Intro. to Marketing and Sports and Entertainment Marketing classes. The tests will be this Friday. We will be reviewing for them tomorrow.
School store is opening for a test run tonight during open house. We'll be giving out cookies with every purchase.

Clothing picked for store
Today we picked out the clothing for the school store. I'm fired up I think the kids are going to like it. The only scary thing is that the kids picked the same clothes that I would have picked. All of my students know that my sense of fashion consists of taking the clothes off of the mannequins at Kohl's.
The intro to marketing class worked on an in-class activity where they were brainstorming ways to add value to products. It was a real collaborative effort.
The Sports and Entertainment Marketing class put the finishing touches on their presentations for tomorrow's class. I'm pretty excited to see the results.
