Primary Subject - Language Arts
Secondary Subjects - Social Studies
Grade Level - 6-7
This project is a great way to teach about persuasion and propaganda. It allows students to be more active in the lesson. It puts students in a commercial and helps them to understand how persuasion works.
Day 1: Tell the students to pick a product, bring it in, and think of how they would improve it.
Day 2: Every student will have a product and will make a commercial on a recorded VHS or a blank cassette advertising their unique product.
Day 3: Give everyone a list of persuasive words to use in their commercials. Give examples of how it should be. Give the students a week and a half to present their advertisement in front of the class.
Last Day: All students present their advertisements in front of their classmates. Afterwards everyone answers the questions, "How do advertisements influence peoples lives? How do they influence your life?" This project was a great success.
