Co ngratulations! You are about to have the grand opening for your first business. You have decided to open up a store of metals. It’s time to get to work so you can load the store full of customers for the grand opening. Think of the types of metals you will sell and what they might be useful for. You may refer to the list of metal objects you found in the scavenger hunt yesterday.

Steps for creating the store of metals
1) Identify 5 metals your store will sell.
2) Draw illustrations depicting what the metals you sell may be used for.
3) Come up with a name for your store of metals. Create a propaganda slogan to market your store to the public
4) Prepare a commercial to present to the class advertising your store.
