Grade 7 ELA Projects



Here is a link to the ELA 7 Posterous where you can find your projects.

How effective are subliminal messages in advertising?






Watch this short video on the power of subliminal messages. How effective are they?

Tricks of the Trade




Companies spend billions every year on advertising. Are they actually getting anything back for it? How effective are they? In an age when you can fast forward through commercials, advertisers have to make their ad stand out from all the rest so you may want to watch it.
Find one television ad to critique. Provide a link so your classmates can view it as well. What is the product or service? Who is the target audience? What promises are they making? What techniques do they use in the ad? Are these techniques effective? Would you buy the product? What makes this ad stand out from all the others? Include your critique in your post along with the link.
