Pairs Ad Analysis


Below are links to advertisements from three time periods (1864, 1950s, 1980s):




1.     Your pair will be assigned to one of the three time periods.  Choose an advertisement from your chosen era.

2.     Using the Five Main Advertising Techniques sheet, the Rhetorical Techniques , as well as any other useful advertising techniques sources you may find useful (remember to cite them!), analyze your chosen advertisement.

3.     Create a one page written response and a 5 minute oral commentary to share your evaluation with the class.

Be sure to consider the following elements in your analysis:

·       Advertising techniques (language, layout, presentation, colour, composition, etc.)
·       Genre conventions (newspaper, magazine, television)
·       Purpose
·       Audience
·       Social; historical context of composition and interpretation


Finally, remember to evaluate rather than describe and to create a bibliography for your response.
