Advertising and Propoganda

Hello!!

Today we learned about propoganda and advertising techniques!  We watched two videos on You Tube that depicted commericals and brands that use advertising techniques as persuasive tools.

We also used an Oreo cookie to help understand persuasive writing techniques!!

To personalize their learning, I asked my students to come up with a way to show advertising and propoganda techniques in society or through cereal boxes that I had my students bring in.
