ilearn adverti advertising persuasive

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 21 Nov 11 - No Cached
  • A look at advertising can introduce students to persuasive writing, the effect of different music, colors and mediums, critical thinking and problem solving.
  • I like to have students to consider both sides of advertising.  First, what does it mean to be a consumer and how does advertising play into that?  Second, how would you create an advertisement that reaches a target audience?
  • You can also tie advertising to history by asking students to look at World War II posters

Free Tools Challenge #24: Accessible Content with Wikipedia's Simple English | Teacher ... - 1 views

  • “Simple does not mean short. Writing in Simple English means that simple words are used. It does not mean readers want basic information. Articles do not have to be short to be simple; expand articles, add details, but use basic vocabulary
  • You can get to the Simple English Wikipedia by either “translating” the article from the standard Wikipedia with the link in the language list, as depicted in the image; or you can go to the Simple English homepage to search for a particular topic.
  • To help your students who have a higher comprehension of a topic, submitting an article to the Simple English Wikipedia is an excellent extension activity. Entire classes could even participate, all researching an animal, a historical event, or just editing/lengthening existing articles.

    This would be a fabulous idea for a twist on the 'ole research project to incorporate an authentic purpose/audience. "To help your students who have a higher comprehension of a topic, submitting an article to the Simple English Wikipedia is an excellent extension activity.

    Education: Grade(s): 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Cost $FREE! What was it like to be a Jew in Europe prior to World War II? How was your life different from non-Jews? What did you know about the regime in Nazi Germany and what happened to you as a result of its rule? What was it like to be sent away from your parents on the Kindertransport or to stay in your home country and be taken away to a concentration camp? What was life like in the camps? What did it mean to be liberated? For this very special program, take your study of World War II and the Holocaust to individuals who lived through them. Ask these questions and more as you interact with Holocaust survivors. Our focus in this program will not be exploring the historic details of World War II or the Holocaust, but it will be to provide students the rare and important opportunity to speak directly with those who lived during that time and survived to share their experiences with others. This program will come live from the Holocaust Museum and Learning Center in St. Louis. The program will also include information about resources available through the Center.
