La meilleure chaussure du monde!
 
Having studied the language and techniques used in advertising, AS French students were set the task of creating their own advertisement in French, employing the ideas discussed in class. The advertisements were then used for a peer assessment activity where the rest of the class analysed how effective and persuasive they found them.

Here, Ronan Davis, Penny Hodges, Danny Knowles and Romaine Heichtry (with some cameo roles from other students and staff) advertise "la meillure chaussure du monde"!
