After the initial assignment and group discussion time, groups are allowed to structure their own time within certain time frames. Groups are frequently called together for class instruction on certain aspects of the project. They report their progress to the teachers by way of group and individual journals. After writing is completed, edited and word processed, students are instructed in the application of desktop publishing and scanning devices. Students import their written text into desktop applications, scan and import their cartoons, and use computer graphics to create their advertisements.
All individual applications lead to the creation of a complete document.
