Trudy’s class has a newspaper. The students write stories, articles and poems for it. Then one of them types their work into a computer and prints it out. The teacher puts up everything on the wall so that it looks like a large, open newspaper.
One day Trudy said to the teacher, “most newspapers have advertisements. Can we have our advertisements?
The teacher thought this was a good idea. She made Trudy the advertising manager and Trudy asked the other students to advertise in the newspaper. Here are some of the advertisements she received.
