We mostly talked about one commercial from GM that was shown during the Grammys. It was an incredible ad for its method of conveying a message through music, pictures, text, and song lyrics. We will definitely study it again.

I handed out the packet for the media literacy essay. If any student was absent, he/she should pick one up. It will be our text book.

Homework
I wanted the text/ad ratio completed for Monday. They should also write down a list of all products advertised in the magazine. I explained how to do this in class. If we need more time, we will work on it in class. I am trying to get them to take a look at what is in their magazines. Most times we don't even think about it.
