Mrs. Jackson and I have some exciting things planned
for you guys this six weeks. Our focuses will be on persuasive techniques and
media, and the second half will pretty much review information from the 2nd
six weeks but in more depth. We’ve got PowerPoints and Prezis, commercials and
videos, plot diagrams, and a graphic novel on our agenda. It’s going to be a
lot of work but a lot of fun at the same time.
So here is your prompt. Before I get into the
questions, I want you to each think of a commercial. It can be any commercial,
but it must be one you remember very clearly, meaning you must remember what it
was advertising. The initial question: What made this commercial stick with you?
In other words, why do you remember it? To answer this question, consider the
following sub-questions: 1) What was it advertising, a product or an idea? 2)
What techniques did they use in the advertisement? Did they use a catchy song,
or have a celebrity, for instance? 3) Did the advertisement make you want to
buy the product? 4) Who was the target audience? Was it kids your age, adults,
or pet owners, for instance? 5) How did you know the target audience?
Answer
the initial and sub-questions in four complete, insightful sentences. Remember
to write in paragraph form!

ReplyDeleteAdvertising is a product they are trying to sell. Avertisments use catchey songs and celebrities like Riannah was on a poster said Got Milk. Yes because they persuade you into getting the item. Some advertisements are for older people on different T.V shows some are for children like on Nickeloden (channel 24). Some people need the things that the commercials are advertisement.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time watching the commercial that shows hurt and neglected animals. It also has a really sad song that goes along with the sad animal pictures.
