Making Inferences with Advertisements

What is an inference?

An inference is an educated guess that we make based on the information that is right in front of us, combined with our own experience.

OBJECTIVE:

• You will work in groups to analysis various advertisements to discover the message within the advertisement.

• Your group will use explicit evidence from the advertisements to justify your inferred analysis of the message.

• Your group will then be able to write a 30 second speech in which you teach your classmates the advertisement's message.

• Finally, will work with your group to create your own advertisement that conveys a message but without explicitly stating it.
