The Assignment


For this assignment, you will want to post a link to the ad you are discussing or insert the ad into your post (it can be a TV or print ad).  Then, write a paragraph responding to this ad.  What do you find interesting about it?  How does it help us to think about the readings?  You might want to think about explaining both how the ad works and what its effects might be.  A few things to consider: who seems to be the audience for the ad, and why?  Why do you think it is successful or unsuccessful?  Does it draw on any cultural references?  To what end?

All posts are due by 1:20 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.  You must comment on 7 posts by 1:20 p.m. on Thursday.

Don't forget to sign your name to your posts!
