2. Choose the ad on which you are going to comment and respond to the questions asked.

4. What persuasive strategy or strategies does this ad use to convince their audience?

5. Why do you think this ad would or would not have been effective?


 * Be sure to support your analysis by including information from our television unit. (How do framing, lighting, angle, etc. work in creating pathos and supporting the argument?) Use some of our advertising vocabulary as well.**

1. Select the ad on which you will comment. Be sure NOT to comment on the BMW ad or the ad on which I have posted the instructions for this assignment. 2. Click on the "comment" button. 3. Click on one of the options available for recording your comment. If the computer you are using has a microphone, click "record" and simply say your comment into the microphone. If your computer has a webcam, click on the option that looks like a video camera to record your comment. If your computer has neither a microphone or a webcam, please call in your answers by clicking the option that looks like a telephone. **__DO NOT type your answer__**. You will have access to computers at school that will allow you to complete this assignment without typing it. 4. Hit "save" when you have created a comment you are confident in posting.

 * __Remember to speak clearly.__** Listen to your comment before you post it. If you can not understand yourself, I won't be able to understand you either. **__If I cannot understand your post I cannot give you a grade.__**
