Unit Description: The Power and Impact of Advertising
In today's media-driven world, advertising is more than just a tool for selling products - it shapes our perceptions, influences our decisions, and reflects societal values. This unit, based on Amy Norton's "Ads May Spur Unhappy Kids," challenges high school students to critically examine the pervasive role of advertising in their lives and its effects on consumer behavior, self-image, and cultural norms. Through thought-provoking discussions, collaborative projects, and in-depth analyses, students will uncover the techniques advertisers use to persuade, the ethical dilemmas they face, and the broader implications for society.
From decoding emotional appeals to debating the ethics of targeting vulnerable demographics, students will develop essential skills to think critically and responsibly in a world saturated with media messages. By the end of the unit, students will be empowered to navigate advertising with a discerning eye, articulate informed opinions, and explore how ethical advertising can contribute to a more inclusive and transparent media landscape.
This dynamic exploration fosters not only media literacy but also encourages students to reflect on their values, engage with diverse perspectives, and consider the transformative power of responsible advertising.
