I have a thing for Mad Men. I mean seriously, this is nothing new. I'm sort of dying over the fact that Season 5 isn't part of my back-to-school preparation this year. Definitely feels like something is missing.
That's when I was thinking.. why wait for Mad Men when you could bring Mad Men to school? Well, as you know, Mad Men isn't the most teenage/family friendly television show. In fact, when I used a clip last school year, I was hard pressed to find one appropriate without a lot of innuendo, but I did. So what the heck am I talking about?
Yearbook Class meet Sterling Cooper.
I think you guys will compliment each other nicely.
We will have our Creative Department: To help brainstorm slogans, sections, layouts, the general feel of the yearbook.
Our Art Department: To funnel the ideas to print. Design the photography, the art, the graphics. Make sure everything fits the general theme.
Head of Accounts: To organize, manage, and invest time in making sure our Ads are filled, our payment has been collected, and our customers are happy!
And Me? Well, I'll be the Office Manager.
At first I thought it would just be funny to do it this way, but now I'm seriously contemplating it.
(As you can see, I try to make my classroom fun for the kids AND for me ;))
P.S. There is NO smoking or drinking allowed in the yearbook class!
What do you think?
OH my gosh, great idea! I have recently found that Mad Men in on Netflix so I spend the majority of my life plopped infront of the tv watching the gorgeousness. (Not really, but it has definitely become a part of my day!)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. Let me know how it works out! :) :) :)
