Essential Question:
How do advertisements impact and effect teen culture?
Today in class, we addressed the following guiding questions:
- What is culture?
- What is your culture?
- What is American teen culture?
- How is culture represented in advertising?
Assignment #1:
- Engage in media usage for at least half an hour (ie. watching TV., looking through a magazine, listening to the radio, being on Facebook).
- In this time, tally the amount of advertisements you see.
- While tallying, choose one cultural component we discussed and analyze the advertisement for that component. Choices include:
- Language and Communication Styles
- Family Norms
- Bodies and Relationships
- Gender Roles
- Privilege and Racism
- Success
- Teen Experience
- While tallying, begin to ponder the following questions:
- What cultural norms were represented?
- How often were they represented?
- How were they represented?
Due: Wednesday, 3/26.
Note: All you need to bring to class is a record of the type of media, time (half an hour or more), and tally. We will be answering the questions and analyzing the results in class on Wednesday.
