Persuasive Techniques in Advertising

This is a really cool lesson! I am currently in the process of obtaining my teaching licensure and am in the process of designing a unit that I would like to teach one day. The focus of my unit is to have students see how they can use the tools that editorial writers use, so that they can impact their world and see that they can also make a difference in the world. As I was researching for my project, I came across your lesson plan, which I thought was really cool! I feel that a lot of the ideas that I would like my students to be exposed too, you are illustrating here. Although my project focuses more on editorial writing, based off of your lesson plan I have broadened it to include political cartoons. I thought it a great idea that you included visual aspects of persuasive writing, something which I would also like to emulate. Your lesson plan also made me think that I would like to come up with a unit on advertising (very similar to your own) after I were to do my newspaper/argumentative lesson. Overall, thank you for giving me such great ideas! And,it is also great to know that others have found it very effective in their classrooms!

I am going to use it with my students evaluating ads. Will commet after I use it. I have to adopt and adapt it to my students level-- Japanese college students.

Great lesson thank so much!
