Using Text to Support Subtext

Even the best ideas always need to have substantial evidence to back them up. When we search for subtext, these are more like ideas. We need to back them up with the "text" (whether that's an image, graphics, colors, symbols, or words).

Your HW over the weekend was an attempt to get you to combine text with subtext.

The Subtext: The purpose and the target audience of the Daddy's Money ad.

Did you back up those ideas with solid examples of text?

Does your response flow?


We are working towards writing a DECONSTRUCTION PARAGRAPH. Every time you make a claim about the text (subtext), you need to back it up. There are two more questions we must answer before we have a complete deconstruction of this ad.

"TEXT" MESSAGE ACTIVITY

What messages does this ad send to its audience or viewers? What would it say if it could directly speak to the target audience?  Write that down on the index card provided. Repeat!

Final five minutes: Brainstorm reward for free-choice reading goals.


HW: NONE
