Analysing an Advertisement

Advertisements are such a big part of our lives that we don't notice them anymore, but are they still necessary? Do they increase sales? And most importantly, how do advertising agencies try to obtain this purpose?

In groups of 3/2 or individually, choose an advertisement that you find interesting. It can be a video or a picture or poster from any source.

• Show and describe the contents of the advertisement to the rest of your classmates. Use as many adjectives as you can to describe it properly.

• Analyse the advertisement: 

1- What made you choose it?

2- Which techniques is using to attract your attention? 

3-  Do you think it is a good advertisement and will obtain its purpose ( increasing sales)? Why?

 Try to use specific vocabulary  and mention advertising techniques such as the ones shown in the following video

 You can prepare a power point, prezi or something similar to support your oral exposition but it is not necessary, you can also decide to show only the advertisement and explain it to your classmates.
