NOTES ON TEACHING COMPREHENSION
Subject ENGLISH
Topic: COMPREHENSION
Lesson – Being able to comprehend a text to determine its purpose and to
Content: evaluate its content is a life skill that will be important to you no
matter what you do in the future. In your futures, you will have to
read contracts, newspaper articles, reports, literature, business
letters, advertisements… you know that I could go on and on with
this list. Our immediate need for you to be able to understand
comprehension passages is to answer the questions that will
accompany them, and so do well in your language classes and
examination papers. In the Language and Comprehension
Examination you will get one passage with questions to test how
well you understood the text. You will also be given a piece of visual
material in this section, and you will be asked questions on it. Other
parts of the paper will also test your ability to understand what you
are reading in context.
Language aspects covered
Pre-activities Vocabulary: Have a list of words you think learners might find
difficult
Vocabulary
Language
in the
subject You should try to work out the meaning of those words. Use word
Prediction attack skills, for example:
breaking the words down to its most simple form –
“relook” - the base word here is LOOK. Relook should
have to do with looking again
identify the prefix and/or suffix to establish the meaning
– “relook” - the prefix in the word is re- which means again..
read the words in the context of the passage provided.
Sometimes you will have to look for the origin of the word.
You will now have to try any of these techniques to find the
meaning of the difficult words. Before you start, make sure that
you understand the following language aspects:
Language aspects:

or group and are difficult for others to understand. For example,
legal jargon.
Hyphen - Hyphens are used in many compound words to show that
the component words have a combined meaning.
Compound words - A compound word is a combination of two or
more words that function as a single unit of meaning.
Prefix - A prefix is added to the front of a word to change its
meaning.
Suffix - A suffix is a letter or a group of letters added to the end of a
word to change its meaning or to ensure it fits grammatically into a
sentence.
Root word - A basic word to which affixes (prefixes and suffixes)
are added is called a root word because it forms the basis of a new
word. The root word is also a word in its own right.
.
Prediction: look at the heading of the passage
Consider the heading of the passage. What would you
predict/guess the passage would be about?
The heading/title of the article is very important as it prepares
you for what you are going to read in your comprehension
passage.
Reading for comprehension is different than reading for
enjoyment, therefore your approach to reading for
comprehension will be different from when you are just reading
a book. The purpose of reading for comprehension is to read
with a specific focusing in order to answer questions.
Skimming: Before you read the actual text, try to work out what
it is about. Often the title, source (where the text is from), or the
author's name can provide hints about what the text will be about
Copyright reserved Please turn over
English FAL/P1 (Struggling Learners) 5 KZN/2020
or what genre it is from. This is just a VERY quick glance at the
contents of the text. You are just finding out what the passage is
about in a brief way.
During teaching After skimming the text, you will first read the questions to ensure
that before you read the text in full, you know what you will need to
Introduction of answer. A good strategy (especially during examinations when you
topic: have limited time to re-read the passage) would be to start by
reading the questions first.
Read each question slowly and carefully, in its order of
appearance. Focus on the question verbs and their meaning to
get an idea of what the passage is about, and, most importantly,
what to look out for when you start reading it. Underline
significant words in the questions – if you are to answer the
questions properly, you need to be thoroughly familiar with the
vocabulary of questioning.
Now that you have an idea of what is being asked, carefully read
the extract, with the aim of discovering as many points as possible
which seem related to the questions. Keep the questions in the back
of your mind.
As you read through the passage, answer the following questions
mentally to help you to gain an overview of what the text is about.
• Who wrote the text?
Perhaps you are familiar with the author, or you may realise that it
was written by someone famous.
• For whom was the text written?
Knowing who the intended audience was will help you to see how
the author has written with this target group in mind. The audience
is very specific in our sample text, hence the jargon (subject specific
words) used.
• Why has the author written this text?
The writer's intention will influence his or her style of writing. In our
Copyright reserved Please turn over
English FAL/P1 (Struggling Learners) 6 KZN/2020
sample, the writer wants to inform the reader about the benefits of
moving away from conventional way of creating energy to using
bioenergy as a flexible option.
• Where does this text come from?
The source of the text - for example a magazine, recipe book,
newspaper, blog, scientific journal, etc. - will influence the subject
matter and the style of the text.
• How is the message being communicated?
What style, tone and register does the author use to convey his or
her ideas to the reader?
While reading, you must also underline keyword or phrases that
would make answering the questions easier.
Assessment
(consolidation) Always pay attention to the marks allocated per question. The
amount of detail of your response should depend on the number
of marks allocated.
Answer all the questions. Do not leave any out – even if you do
not know the answer. Try! You are sure to get no marks if you
leave a question out, but you may get some marks if you just try!
Partially accurate answers are also given credit!
When asked for an opinion, substantiate your answer. Give
reasons for why you say what you say. Sometimes this
substantiation will come from the text, but not always. It should
however ALWAYS be grounded in the text. Make sure the marker
understands why you have answered as you have.
When asked to quote, copy the words from the text literally as they
appear in the text, and use inverted commas.
Pay attention to spelling and punctuation in your answers, as
spelling mistakes are unforgiveable when the words appear in the
text, or in the questions.
Write neatly, and check that your numbering is accurate.
Certain words seem to occur frequently in comprehension

English FAL/P1 (Struggling Learners) 7 KZN/2020
questions. Different questions require distinct types of responses.
Answers for questions using the following verbs can be found
directly in the text, e.g. name, list, state, identify, outline, etc.
These questions are called lower order questions as they
require very little thinking to answer them correctly.
The answers for questions using the list of verbs below, require
you to take what is in the passage and to infer meaning into
it or change the way in which the information is presented,
e.g. explain, compare, what is the intention, why is the statement
true/false, etc. These types of questions are called middle order
questions as they require from you some understanding and
interpretation based on what you have read. Answers are not as
readily available as with lower order questions.
Question: Explain the writer’s intention in the passage
Answer: The writer wants to inform the reader about...
The most challenging questions are called higher order questions
as they require the highest level of thinking. This does not mean
they are the most difficult to answer, but they do require you to
think for yourself as the answer cannot be found in the passage.
These questions require that you critically analyse the question to
be able to answer effectively. These questions traditionally carry
the highest marks, so be sure to answer them fully. Examples of
question verbs for these questions are: comment critically; do you
think…; in your opinion…; is the title suitable…; do you agree
with…; discuss the writer’s use of…; discuss the effectiveness of
the…; discuss your response to…; etc. Traditionally these
answers do not have a clear right or wrong answer, the marks are
awarded for your argument within the context of the passage and
the question, so be very clear and concise when answering these
questions. No marks are awarded for yes/no; agree/disagree.
Question: In your opinion, is the title of this article suitable?
Substantiate your answer.(2)
Answer: Open-ended. A suitable response will be accepted, e.g.
Yes.
The passage focuses mainly on…; therefore, …is a suitable title as
it hints at….
or
No.
Though the article addresses…, it does not….
Copyright reserved Please turn over
English FAL/P1 (Struggling Learners) 8 KZN/2020
NOTE: NO mark will be awarded for 'Yes' or 'No'. Other
suitable responses can be accepted. You can score one mark for
an answer that is not well-substantiated.
Other questions that may seem difficult:
What is the effect of ...?
Effect means the impression created, for example: ‘buzzing’
conveys the sound made by bees.
Why is this word effective ...?
Effectiveness refers to the merit or advantage of using a particular
word or phrase. Does the word produce the effect it was meant to
produce? Is it a good/poor choice of word to express the particular
meaning? Significance is the importance of a word in its context.
Why has it been used rather than another word?
What is implied by ...?
Implied is used to ask what other hidden meanings a word or
sentence might have in addition to its surface meaning.
What is the writer's attitude towards ...?
Attitude is how the writer views a particular event, person, place
and so on.
What is the writer's/reader's feeling towards ...?
Feeling is the emotion the writer or reader has on a particular
matter. Feeling is often made clear by the tone or ‘sound’ used to
express the particular emotion.

COMPREHENSION ACTIVITY
QUESTION 1
Read TEXT A and answer the set questions.
TEXT A
Many have said that change can be uncomfortable but necessary. Nhlanhla Nciza,
a living example of this, shared with SOUL, and spoke about the changes she’s
been through.
Every girl wants to be her, and who wouldn’t? She’s beautiful, graceful and talented,
and has the kind of life young women dream of. Looking at her workload and busy
schedule, you would think she needs superpowers to be able to get through an
ordinary day. She’s a mother, wife, businesswoman, a fashion star and she’s just
released her brand new solo album titled Inguquko, which means “change”.
I got to the studio where an exhausted Nhlanhla was doing a late afternoon shoot,
and I could tell that she’d had one of those days, so I suggested that we postpone
the interview for the following day. She graciously refused and invited me to join
her at the local Mugg and Bean downstairs for a chat between her afternoon and
evening schedule.
The epitome of style, the elegant Nhlanhla is a far cry from the girl who grew up a
shy tomboy. “I was the type who never spoke unless spoken to,” she recalls.
“There’s still that bit of shyness in me. It has made it very difficult for me to make
new friends or to have conversations with people I’ve met for the first time.” Thank
goodness for the talent that thrust her into the limelight, because this interview was
becoming quite a breeze.
Nhlanhla is the only girl in her family and was very like her father. She credits him
for a lot of things in her life. As a teenager, Nhlanhla joined the school choir, and
participated in a number of shows, doing Boom Shaka and Toni Braxton numbers.
“That prepared me for what was to come in the entertainment industry. When the
time came for me to perform in front of big crowds, I was ready for it.”
It’s over a decade now that she has been the lead singer in the multi-award winning
group, Mafikizolo. She’s finally decided to release a solo album as well as her
clothing range NN Vintage. “It’s quite scary; I know I’m going to be judged by a lot
of things. Firstly, my album will be compared to Mafikizolo’s – I’m expecting that,
because our band has been one of the most successful in the country. Other than
that, I’m quite calm and relaxed about the whole thing. I’m under pressure, but it’s
good pressure, because it’s the kind that makes me want to work even harder.”

TIPS FOR FIRST TIME TRAVELERS.
Globetrotters advise that a person should travel to a foreign country at least once in their
lifetime. While this might be an exciting prospect, travelers are advised to apply caution from
as early as the planning stage of their trips.
One mistake to avoid is not buying travelling insurance. Although many credit cards offer
travel insurance to protect you on your trip, often you must purchase the trip with that specific
card in order for the travel insurance to be valid.
Visa requirements change frequently; it is therefore best to check these changes a week before
departure to avoid not getting your visa for your trip.
Flights are known to be unpredictable so travelers should allow enough time between
connecting flights. Money is an important aspect of every trip. Travelers should deter from
exchanging all their money at the airport, opting for an ATM for withdrawal purposes will help
save cash.
Credit card companies flag foreign transactions in case of credit card fraud, so not informing
your bank about an upcoming trip might lead to blocked credit cards. Always make copies of
important documents including passports, accommodation, visa and credit cards.
Avoid paying unnecessary fees by ensuring that you do not mix up your pin codes. Banks
charge hefty amounts to return swallowed cards. No one likes being on the wrong side of the
law so research about bylaws of drinking and smoking in public in the country of your
preference.

OBJECTIVES
Students will
demonstrate an understanding of three persuasive techniques (pathos, logos, and ethos)
and other advertising strategies.
analyze advertisements according to their employment of these techniques.
demonstrate an understanding of the concept of demographics and specific audience.
synthesize this knowledge into advertisements of their own creation.
SESSION ONE
Introduce the lesson by engaging students in a brief discussion about their experiences
with and the effects of advertising. You may want to ask students:
Where do you encounter advertising? (They will likely mention television, billboards, radio,
Websites, school hallways, and so on.)
Which specific advertisements "stick in your head?"
What makes these advertisements memorable? (They might mention music, catchy
slogans, celebrity appearance, the appeal of the product itself, and so forth.)
Do you think advertisements have an effect on your personal interests?
You will likely find that students have little trouble naming ads with which they are familiar,
but most will claim that they have little effect on their habits, interests, or behaviors.
Explain to students that advertisers very carefully construct their ads to make them
memorable and appealing to consumers, and that the ways in which they try to convince
Copyright reserved Please turn over
English FAL/P1 (Struggling Learners) 19 KZN/2020
them to buy products are similar to the ways they have been taught to write persuasively,
using certain techniques and aiming toward a particular audience.
Distribute the Persuasive Techniques in Advertising handout and introduce the concepts of
pathos, logos, and ethos, defined at the top of the handout.
Persuasive Techniques in Advertising
The persuasive strategies used by advertisers who want you to buy their product
can be divided into three categories: pathos, logos, and ethos.
Pathos: an appeal to emotion.
An advertisement using pathos will attempt to evoke an emotional response in
the consumer. Sometimes, it is a positive emotion such as happiness: an
image of people enjoying themselves while drinking Pepsi. Other times,
advertisers will use negative emotions such as pain: a person having back
problems after buying the “wrong” mattress. Pathos can also include emotions
such as fear and guilt: images of a starving child persuade you to send money.
Logos: an appeal to logic or reason.
An advertisement using logos will give you the evidence and statistics you
need to fully understand what the product does. The logos of an
advertisement will be the "straight facts" about the product: One glass of
Florida orange juice contains 75% of your daily Vitamin C needs.
Ethos: an appeal to credibility or character.
An advertisement using ethos will try to convince you that the company is
more reliable, honest, and credible; therefore, you should buy its product.
Ethos often involves statistics from reliable experts, such as nine out of ten
dentists agree that Crest is the better than any other brand or Americas
dieters choose Lean Cuisine. Often, a celebrity endorses a product to lend it
more credibility: Catherine Zeta-Jones makes us want to switch to T-Mobile.
Practice labeling pathos, logos, and ethos by placing a P, L, or E in the blank :
_____ A child is shown covered in bug bites after using an inferior bug spray.
_____ Tiger Woods endorses Nike.
_____ Sprite Zero is 100% sugar-free.
_____ A 32-oz. bottle of Tide holds enough to wash 32 loads.
_____ A commercial shows an image of a happy couple riding in a Corvette.

English FAL/P1 (Struggling Learners) 20 KZN/2020
_____ Cardiologists recommend Ecotrin more than any other brand of aspirin.
_____ Advil Liqui-Gels provide up to 8 hours of continuous pain relief.
_____ Miley Cyrus appears in Oreo advertisements.
_____ People who need more energy drink Red Bull Energy Drink.
_____ A magazine ad shows people smiling while smoking cigarettes.
Students should understand that these rhetorical strategies are similar to those used in a
persuasive writing assignment, and that they will use these strategies when creating their
own commercial by the end of this unit. Encourage students to make connections to
examples of each of the terms they have used in persuasive writing of their own. Note: This
is an appropriate time to clarify that the word logos in this context should not be confused
with a brand-specific image or insignia referred to as a logo.
After explaining the concepts of pathos, logos, and ethos, have students practice identifying
the three techniques by placing a P, L, or E in the blank next to the examples at the bottom
of this handout. Have students share their responses with a partner and check for
understanding by conducting a brief discussion of the examples.
Although most of these examples were designed to have one clear answer, be sure to
emphasize to the students that pathos, logos, and ethos are not always separate entities
and may often overlap with one another. For example, "Nine out of ten dentists choose
Crest," suggests that the dentists are credible experts (ethos), and also includes a statistic
(logos).
Deepen students' understanding of the concepts of pathos, logos, and ethos with visual
examples by sharing with them the Persuasive Techniques in Advertising online video. You
may want to pause and have students explain how the television, print, and online
advertisements utilize the three rhetorical strategies. The narration in the commercial
further explains their use in each advertisement. There is also the Persuasive Techniques
in Advertising Video Transcription.

appear in a variety of media, from a high school debate to a built-in ad on a mobile app to

remains the same: convince the audience of your point of view. That point of view may be

persuasive essay use similar strategies. They make emotional appeals, build credibility and
trust,
and use logic and reason, all to convince the reader that their perspective is believable and
true.
Greek philosopher Aristotle used three terms to describe these rhetorical strategies:
pathos,
logos, and ethos. Not every advertisement will use all three of these techniques, but most
use at
least two to persuade the consumer to invest in a product or idea. We’ll first start by taking
a
look at advertisements that feature pathos. An argument using pathos will attempt to evoke
an
emotional response in the audience. Before we get into advertising, let’s envision this as a
persuasive essay.
Student: Imagine that you failed a math test because your school’s strict anti-cell phone
policy
kept you from using your calculator app or that your sister gives birth to your baby nephew
but
you have no idea because your teacher won’t let you check your text messages. . .
Narrator: Notice how this essay attempts to evoke two emotions: the fear of failure and the
anxiety of missing out on important news in order to persuade you. Now, let’s take a look
at
how this could work in advertising. Notice how the following ads want you to associate
happiness or fun with their product.
[Advertisements: The first ad for Dave & Buster’s shows two young men and a woman
cheering
while playing a video game. In the second ad, excited children enjoy a birthday party at the
restaurant.]
Narrator: (Moving on to a MacDonald’s ad.) In fact, with the Happy Meal, it’s right there in
the
name.
[Advertisement: An ad for a Happy Meal shows a mother smiling at her daughter who is
holding a red Happy Meal container. The ad slogan reads “Happy to the Core.”]
Narrator: These food-related ads have a pretty good idea of how you can satisfy your
hunger.

Briefly discuss the "Other Advertising Strategies" section of Persuasive Techniques in
Advertising handout. Explain that these are more specific types of strategies that
advertisers use and that many overlap with pathos, logos, and ethos. For example, you
may mention that patriotism is a strategy meant to evoke certain emotions, and would
therefore constitute a use of pathos.
Close the session by explaining to students that in future sessions, they will be examining
existing advertisements with their new analytical skill and applying it to creating ads of their
own.
Encourage students to begin looking at advertisements they encounter in terms of these
three techniques.
SESSION TWO
Begin with a brief review of the concepts of pathos, logos, and ethos from the previous
session. Ask students to demonstrate their growing understanding by providing examples
of each of the techniques from advertisements they have recently seen.
Now introduce the term demographics to students: the characteristics that make up a
human population such as gender, age, and race. Have students discover which
demographic group(s) they fit into by completing the Demographics: Who are you?
handout.
Demographics: Who are you?
The concepts of identity and demographics will be relevant to several of our assignments
during this unit. How do you define yourself? Provide the appropriate description in each

category below. Examples of “other” categories include social group, economic status,
religion, level of education, region of the country, and so forth.
With these demographics in mind, list of specific types of media that people expect to
appeal to someone like the person you described above:

gender:
age:
group:
other:
When creating their group commercials in a later session, students will need to consider
the demographics for their product. Explain to students that this is how advertisers think of
consumers: not as individuals, but as members of groups that tend to believe, behave, or
purchase in certain patterns. Even when an advertisement is appealing to the idea of
individuality (such as Burger King's "Have It Your Way" promotion), advertisers are
appealing to the demographic group of "people who like to be thought of as individuals,"
not to any single consumer.
Continue the discussion of demographics by distributing the Targeted Commercials
handout, which will further explore the concept of demographics.
Targeted Commercials Advertising isn’t a random process—commercials are often
carefully chosen to match the “target audience” of a particular show. The characteristics of
this “target audience” are referred to as demographics. Complete this handout as you watch
clips from a television program chosen by your teacher. During the program
Age range of the target audience:

Other Gender of the target audience

After the program In at least one paragraph, explain whether or not the commercials
matched the target audience for the show. Give specific examples of products, considering
for whom the products were intended.
Ask students to begin applying their understanding of demographics and targeted
advertising by showing the first part of a television program of your choice. Since the
purpose of this activity is to show how advertisers cater to a show's intended audience, you
may want to make sure you are presenting a show with commercials that very obviously
target a specific demographic.
Before watching, share with students a brief description of the show they are about to see,
including race/gender/class of the main characters, genre of the program, and the
time/date/channel on which the program aired. Have students use these factors (and any
other prior knowledge they may have of the show) to determine the probable demographics.
Students should indicate their choices on the handout.
While students watch the commercial break(s), have them take brief notes to remind them
of the products being advertised.
Have students complete the "After the program" response question at the bottom of the
Targeted Commercials handout. Then discuss the degrees to which the advertisements
match the demographics of the likely intended audience of the television program.
This would be an appropriate time to talk about clear evidence that programming and
advertising are marketed to specific groups. Lifetime: Television for Women, Spike! TV,
Logo, and Black Entertainment Television all exist not only to give viewers programming
they might like, but also to allow advertisers to target their audiences more specifically.

Distribute the Commercial Dig activity,
Commercial Dig
Choose a television show to watch. Keep a detailed list of eight different
commercials you see during this show. These all should come from the
same show: You must resist the urge to change the channel. Follow the
example at the top of the chart.

explaining to students that this is a long-term assignment that requires them to keep track
of eight commercials viewed during one television program and to explain briefly the
purpose of each advertised product. Remind students that the commercials they record on
this chart should all come from the same show, as the completed chart will be used to re-
emphasize the concepts of demographics and targeted advertising. Inform them that this
assignment should be completed by Session Four and ask if there are questions before
closing the session.
SESSION THREE
Remind students what they have learned so far in this lesson: techniques advertisers use
to persuade consumers to buy their products and the concept of "targeting" certain
audience demographics to make the process of persuasion more efficient and focused.
Copyright reserved Please turn over
English FAL/P1 (Struggling Learners) 26 KZN/2020
Explain to students that they will have the opportunity to apply this knowledge by looking at
some real ads for real products. Share that the goal of this activity will be to examine how
advertisers skillfully use multiple strategies to persuade their audiences.
Distribute the Analyzing Ads handout and discuss the expectations and format for
response.
Analyzing Ads Choose six advertisements–two magazine ads, two television commercials,
and two internet-based advertisements—and explain how each uses pathos, logos, and
ethos. Not every advertisement will use all three, but examine the ad carefully before you
decide to write “none.” Also list any other strategies used. Refer to the definitions and
examples given earlier for help.
Product name Use of pathos Use of logos Use of ethos Other
strategies
Product 1
Product 2
Product 3
Product 4
Product 5
Product 6
Students will analyze six advertisements: two print ads, two television commercials, and
two Internet advertisements. The Internet advertisements should take the form of
marketing Websites featuring a particular product, or pop-ups/embedded ads in Websites
unrelated to the product.
This activity will allow students to practice their recognition of pathos, logos, and ethos in
three different modes of advertising, preparing them for the creation of their own
commercials. Students should also record any of the "other strategies" explained on
Persuasive Techniques in Advertising handout, also required as part of the final project.
Share with students the print ads you already collected as well as the Web Resources for
Finding Example Advertisements and have them look for ads. Point out to students that
they may wish to access television ads on their own time, including during their work on the
Commercial Dig activity. Depending on how efficiently students work through this activity,
this part of the lesson will likely extend into the next session.

SESSION FOUR
At an appropriate time in student engagement in the continuation of the analysis activity
from the previous session, distribute the Commercial Assessment rubric and explain that
you will use it to evaluate the commercials they will produce in an upcoming session. Ask
students, in small groups, to review one of the teacher- or student-selected commercials
and apply the rubric to the commercial. Students should determine whether the commercial
effectively utilizes pathos, logos, and/or ethos, and note their score on the rubric. Students
should also indicate the effectiveness of any of the "other strategies" on the second page
of the rubric.
When students are ready, check for understanding by several volunteers present one of
the advertisements they analyzed, briefly discussing the effective use of persuasive
techniques.
Wrap up this section of the lesson by using the Advertising Advantages: Television vs. Print
vs. Online to engage students in a discussion of the advantages of each mode of
advertising, using the examples on the handout as a guide. This discussion will help
students decide which modes of advertising they might use when creating their
commercials in the next session. You may wish to use the Venn Diagram to facilitate this
discussion.
Remind students that they will need to have their completed Commercial Dig activity ready
for discussion in the next session.
SESSION FIVE
Ask students to get out their completed Commercial Dig activity sheets. Give students the
opportunity to solidify their understanding of the concept of demographics by working
through the analysis tasks in the Commercial Dig Reflection Questions. Have students use
their completed charts to answer the reflection questions. Students should talk through their
responses with a partner before producing a written response.
Commercial Dig Reflection Questions
After completing the Commercial Dig chart, take some time to reflect on what
you observed and plan a response to your findings. Use these questions as a
guide.
Question # 1:
Copyright reserved Please turn over
English FAL/P1 (Struggling Learners) 28 KZN/2020
Does who you are have anything to do with what you choose to watch on TV?
Explain your answer using specific examples.
Question # 2:
Think about the demographics of the show you watched—the age group,
race, and gender of the people who are most likely to watch the show. Often,
the commercials during a show correspond to the demographics for the TV
show itself.
Was this true for anything you observed on your Commercial Dig chart? Give
specific examples.
Question # 3:
What effect do you think advertising has on you? Do you think about
commercials after you have seen them? Does advertising make you more
interested in products, or do you already know what products you want?
Question # 4:
Is advertising ever unfair? When can advertising actually be harmful to a
group of people?
As time permits, engage students in a discussion on fairness in advertising, following the
prompt in Question #4 on the handout. Some ideas follow:
Which advertisements could be viewed as harmful or unfair to a group of people?
Can targeting a specific demographic sometimes encourage stereotyping?
When do you see stereotyping used in advertisements?
You may wish to give students access to the online articles Target me with your ads, please

and the use of billboards in impoverished and minority neighborhoods, respectively, as part
of this discuss
SESSION SIX
Copyright reserved Please turn over
English FAL/P1 (Struggling Learners) 29 KZN/2020
Students will use this session to begin to synthesize all they have learned about advertising
and begin creating a commercial for a fictional product. First ask students to form small
groups and decide on a product to advertise.
Next, students should determine the target audience for their product, remembering
previous lessons on demographics.
Depending on available time and resources, ask students to create a print, filmed, live,
and/or Internet advertisement for their product. They should take into account their
observations from the Advertising Advantages: Television vs. Print vs. Online.
Have students use the Planning Your Advertisement sheet to plan for an advertisement
that will target the previously determined demographic, and demonstrate pathos, logos,
ethos, and three of the "other strategies." This may also be an appropriate time to review
the expectations set forth in the Commercial Assessment rubric.
Give students access to the Comic Creator and/or the Printing Press to create the print
advertisement. Free software such as iMovie and Windows Movie Maker may be used to
edit any filmed commercials. Web creation sites such as PBWorks and Google Sites may
be used to create Internet-based advertisements.
SESSION SEVEN (AFTER STUDENTS HAVE HAD TIME TO PREPARE THEIR
ADVERTISEMENTS)
Give students time to meet in their groups and plan the presentation of their ads.
Have each group present, allowing time for discussion with the class about the effective
use of persuasive techniques in each advertisement.
After the presentations and discussion are complete, distribute the Persuasive Techniques
in Advertising Reflection Questions and give students time to solidify their learning by
responding to the four questions.
