Using Acid chlorides to prepare aromatic ketones

Acid chlorides are used as electrophiles in the Friedel-Crafts reaction to prepare aromatic ketones.  The reaction involves the transfer of an aromatic hydrocarbon with an acyl chloride in the presence of a lewis acid, such as AlCl3.  Using this reaction, outline the reaction sequence you would use to prepare:
a) ethyl phenyl ketone
b)benzophenone
