3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!

1. The 4th/5th grade class at Innovations Academy is doing a project that is looking at various ad techniques. The essential questions are: How can I become more aware of advertisements so I can become a more sensible consumer? How can I use the strategies employed by advertisers to create a character trait or message that I would like to sell? This poster in my example is focusing on courage. I am using the ad technique known as endorsement-using someone famous or important to help sell your ad. Can you think of any other ad techniques that are used to try and convince you to buy products? We have learned about 14 general techniques so far but there are more. Advertisers are required by law to tell the truth but you will find many "bend" that truth. | a | 2. b | b | 3. c | c | 4. d | d | 5. e | e |
