Today, as part of our Media Literacy unit on advertisements, the class brainstormed a fantastic list of advertising techniques that companies use to sell their products.
With these techniques in mind, take a look at the following commercial and ask yourself these questions:
What is the company trying to sell? How do I know?
Who is the commercial aimed at? How do I know?
What techniques does the advertiser use to sell their product and target a specific audience?
Please share your thoughts in the comments section below. We'll also discuss your ideas in class!

Welcome!
A smile is the universal welcome
-Max Eastman
Hello students, parents and guardians! Welcome to a new school year and to Miss. Howes' Class Blog!
As we make our journey through this exciting new year, I'll be using this blog to update you on our class work and achievements. In other words, if you’re looking for information on school events, class projects, or homework, look no more! At Miss Howes’ Class Blog you’ll find assignment topics, due dates, photos, and other great information on what we’re learning in class and what’s happening in our school.
If you don’t have previous experience with blogs or are simply unsure of their purpose in the classroom, over the course of this year I am optimistic that you will come to know the value of blogs and other such technologies in today’s schools. I hope that you will not only see Miss. Howes’ Class Blog as a place to keep ‘up-to-date’, but also as a learning tool where students can reflect on their learning, practice their writing skills, and peer review.
With that said, I’m thrilled to be starting this new school year with all of you and, in regards to the opening quote from Max Eastman, please accept this first blog post as a digital smile!
