Please watch/look at your ad very carefully. Think about the deconstruction questions as you analyze your ad:
1. Who created the ad and for what reason
2. Who is the target audience and how do you know (TEXT EVIDENCE)
3. What does the ad value?
4. Does this contain negative messages (who is mislead or disempowered?)
You have 20 minutes to answer these questions in your journal. Please use your time wisely. CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE BLOG WITH ALL THE ADS
Last twenty minutes of class: Please go to the thesis builder by clicking here.
Reference this to help you build a solid thesis:
Topic: The specific company of your ad
Main opinion: SPECIFICALLY WHO is mislead or disempowered?
Supporting argument for your opinion: (provide a GENERAL idea with NO text evidence)
Another supporting argument for your opinion: again: provide a general idea! no text!
Main argument against your opinion: Consider who the target audience is and how the company attracts that specific group (think like the ad creator--what do they want their audience to believe?)
And boom. You have all the pieces for a highly complicated and awesome thesis statement! (Don't worry, I'll model this bad boy for you)
