Making Media Ads

Ad Library

These print advertisements were created with fictitious brands for you to use in the classroom. Most of them feature ‘healthier food’ options. They show various common advertising tactics and techniques and other aspects of advertising literacy (target audience) and common core principles (opinion, fact). There are also some advertisements with blank spaces for the children to write in their own headlines or advertising copy (words).
