This is an ideal assignment for the Retrospect in this chapter. I’ve done something like this before, and my students wrote engaging, clever papers since they were already pretty media-savvy. One additional direction may be to ask students to write about how these ads succeed or fail; this might prevent your receiving papers with an identical message: these advertisements are bad (which is what I got, again and again). Students think this is what teachers want to hear, so it becomes a common theme, but students don’t always believe it—and, besides, more nuanced work can be done by exploring how we like commercials and advertisements even though we know they don’t represent reality. The questions posed here would also be good for students to consider if teachers utilize Rebecca Burns’s sure-fire class at the beginning of this chapter.
