Suggested Timeline:
✨ Included in this resource is a suggested unit calendar
✨ In my classroom, this is a differentiated unit. I give a pre-test (the included quiz) and my four highest scorers from each section work on the Advertising Project.
✨ The rest of the class completes the following across a 12-day time span:
- Persuasive Techniques PowerPoint – 1 day
- Ad Analysis PPT – 30 min.
- Logo Project – 2 ½ days (w/Ad Analysis PPT and presentations on the last day)
- Commercial Analysis – 3 days (presentations on the last day)
- Commercial Project – 3 days (presentations on the last day)
- Persuasive Techniques Review Game – 1 day
- Persuasive Techniques Quiz – 1 day
As you will see, most of the unit is in-class, cooperative learning, and presentations. I encourage students to work with different groups and partners, sometimes using random group assignments.
✨ For the Logo Project and Commercial Analysis, students present to two other groups.
✨ For the Commercial Project, students perform in front of the entire class.
