The goal of the project was not only to research an important invention, but also create an advertisement, in order to convince their audience how their lives have changed today because of this important invention.
First, students learned a little bit about modern advertising by completing a free online quiz using Kahoot.com. Afterwards the class discussed how modern advertising includes iconic images, and catchy slogans, and then began to design their own advertisement using Piktochart.com.
The requirements for the project included creating an advertisement that not only utilized a catchy slogan, but also included iconic images with text that revealed the invention's importance. Students were also required to upload one copyright free image, with an in-text citation of the original source.
I invite you to view the 6th graders amazing work in advertising and graphic design. If you'd like to use this project in your own classroom, contact Nelson Taylor.
