Language Arts Lesson: Commercial Analysis Project

Commercial Analysis Project

by Danielle Hall 

grades 6-10

It's the day after The Game that Cannot Be Named. How can you channel this energy? With this Persuasive Techniques mini-project! Students analyze the techniques used in a commercial.

This assignment requires students (partners or threes) to complete an outline summarizing their commercial and identifying two techniques. Then, they prepare a presentation and analyze the commercial in front of the class. You can also have them show the commercials or not - up to you!

Students complete individual evaluations and peer feedback. This assures that you can assess speaking and writing. 

This document includes: 
-Project description 
-Rubric - already weighted
-Adaptable project description
-Adaptable rubric
**Commercial Analysis Worksheet (New!)
**Peer & Self-Review Slips (New!)

Now, what about those kids that didn't watch the game? Well, YouTube will often put together a playlist of the "10 Best Commercials", etc. You can have students choose from these. You can take it one step further and *require* students to choose from a pre-screened list of commercials.

(grades 6-10)

Hope to hear from you soon,

Language Arts- Nonfiction Book Report Project and Rubric

Every month my students read a different genre of book and complete a creative book report that they present to the class as part of their LA grade. The Nonfiction Book Report requires the students to learn about specific topic of their choice, read a nonfiction book and create a 3-D model or visual aid and a true/false quiz to give the class while they are presenting. It also includes a rubric for grading purposes.
