As we watched the Super Bowl this past Sunday, we saw a great game and we got our best laughs from the advertisements. Please watch the compilation of the top 10 ads from that night. 1. When finished viewing the video post to the blog, telling us (your fellow peers and I), which advertisement you chose as most effective? 2. Do the research to back up your argument. 3. Was the ad creative and did they use humor to build their case? 4. Do they appeal to the audience’s emotions and do they use real life examples? Explain. 5. What are the other points of view or would there be objections and how do they, the advertiser, counter it? 6. Does the ad insult anyone or get personal (this is a no, no)?

“Student Created” by Ms. Sittig
I taught. You listened. You learned.
You brainstormed. You wrote. We revised.
You re-wrote. We proofread. You published. We enjoyed.

Choose one of the comic strips below A, B, or C and find a character within one of them that is the most like you. In complete sentences, inform us of how they are similar (compare) and different (contrast) from you. Feel free to do a Venn Diagram on your own before presenting the facts in your summary on the post. Be sure to proofread your work, especially for spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.
