Lesson Overview / Summary​ (via ​The Big 3 Questions (UbD summary)​ ​Provide a ​general overview of your
lesson​ so that anyone can ​quickly​ see where the learner is going and what the learner needs to do to get there.)
i. What is it that students will learn and be able to do?
By the end of the class, students will be able to identify the key elements that make an effective commercial.
ii. How will you know that they learned or are able to do “it”?
Students will watch two commercials and create a list of the strategies they identified in the ad. Students will also write a
reflection in their journals, stating which commercial they thought was the most effective and least effective with
rationale.
iii. How will you guide them through the process to get them to “it”?
Show 2 different TV commercials -”Like A Girl” and “Sprite Ad”. After viewing both the ads, students will work in groups
of 4 and 5 (3 groups of 4, 3 groups of 5 ) and write down the different strategies that were used in each commercial.
After 5 minutes, 2 “roamers” from each group will move clockwise to another group, sharing their ideas that were
generated from their initial group, as well as adding new ideas on their paper for 2 minutes. In this group the students
will also discuss what they each liked about the commercials. The roamers will follow this process until they have visited
each group. As a class, we will discuss the different strategies they found in each commercial and how they enhanced
the commercial’s message.
iv. Big Idea or Overarching Principle--What one idea do you want your students to take away from this
lesson?
Advertisers use a variety of strategies to make an effective commercial that is appealing and excites its target audience.
2. Instructional expectations ​(Specific expectation(s) or PART of an expectation from the ​ON Elementary Curriculum
and ​ON Secondary Curriculum​ to be assessed​ and ​other learning opportunities​ that occur​ throughout lesson)
a) Specific Expectations:
1.3 ​evaluate the effectiveness of the presentation a
​ nd treatment ​of​ ideas, ​information,​ themes, opinions, issues, and/or

position; debate whether violence in televised professional sporting events adds to or detracts from their appeal)
(This is the first lesson on media. Students will already have an understanding of what media is, have had a brief
introduction to the different forms of media and how it can impact us [Gr.6]. We will use this lesson to talk about the
strategies commercials use to sell their products)
b) Other learning opportunities​ ​(K-8) other ​learning opportunities​ (9-12)
❏ Responsibility – specifically,
❏ Organization ​– specifically,​ identifies, gathers, evaluates, and uses information, technology, and resources to

us?
Anticipated Response: A form of communication (TV, ADs, Radio, newspaper). It can change your
behaviour, put something/product in your head, can change your attitude towards something
- Or a similar​ response
T: That's right. Media is a form of communication and can be used for a lot of reasons like giving
you information, entertainment, or a way of talking to people. Nowadays media is all around us.
It used to only be through Newspapers, Radio, TV and Posters. Now media is all around us, and
apart of our daily lives, especially through social media. Throughout this unit we are going to look
at different forms of media. Today we are going to be talking about TV commercials.
How many of you actually watch commercials when you’re watching TV? Who can explain to me
what the purpose of a TV Commercial is?
Anticipated Response:​ ​Trying to sell you something/get you interested in the product.

different marketing strategies Like creating controversy. Does anyone know what that this means
or has seen it before?

commercials
that were
viewed.
T: We are now going to move into a small group activity. For the first 5 minutes, you will be
working with your desk group. Group 7, you will be divided between groups 4, 5 and 6. If you look
at the board (powerpoint) I have listed where you are each going.
In this group you will write down ideas on the chart paper that’s on your desk, of why you think
these commercials were or were not effective (or good - for ELL students); What strategies did
you see?
After 5 minutes the timer will go off and 2 students from each group will move clockwise to
another group. You will have 2 minutes to share your ideas that group and discuss what you liked
about the commercials. . You will continue to each group until you have gone to each group.
There will also be a 2 minute timer. This should take us 10 minutes. Each group has a chrome
book so you can refer back to the commercials if needed. REMEMBER you are only to use it to
look at the two commercials already opened. You are not to be looking at other YouTube Videos.
On the board I have also given a diagram of which direction each group will be moving. Thumbs
up if you understand?
AR: hopefully all are thumbs up (if not repeat the instructions)
- Check with D.D., B.B., T.B., F.L. and P.P. understand the instructions
T: Ok lets get started! (​Start 5 minute timer)

SUMMARY
As a class
discuss the
different
strategies
that were
used in each
of the two
commercials
for both of these ads. Let’s start with the “Like a girl Ad.” What sort of strategies did they use in
that ad?
AR: Music, Emotional, Regular People, a little bit of humour.
T: Yes that’s right. The biggest thing in the ad, especially for me, was the powerful message that it
was sending. Can someone explain what that message was?
AR: Girls can do anything, and “Like a girl” shouldn’t mean a bad thing (Or something Similar)
T: Exactly! ​Always​ was empowering young girls and women and giving them confidence. They
turned a phrase that had become an insult into a good and powerful message. From that
commercial, was anyone able to figure out or know what that ad was selling?
- it is most likely the girls will know over the boys. However, they might not be aware that it
was for feminine products.
(If they don’t know the product)​ T​ : The ad was for Always which is a company that sells pads and
tampons when girls have their period. Girls get it at puberty; some of you may already be familiar
with this product.
(If they do know the product and comfortable with responding) AR: It’s for pads.
T: How many of you liked this message and felt empowered by it?
AR: hands up
T: I’m glad everyone feels that way. We all should be confident and change the way people think
“Like A Girl” stands for. Is anyone able to explain to me why they used regular people in this ad
and not have celebrities/famous people?
AR: It helped us connect with the message, it showed us that we all think “Like A Girl” is a bad thing,
if celebrities were the ones explaining Like a girl means to them, it would not have been
effective/good.
T: Do you think this was an effective/good way to sell their product? Even if they didn’t say out
loud what they were selling? If you think it was effective I want you to also explain why you think
that.
AR: Yes, because they are empowering women and telling them to be confident. (Responses can
vary)
T: I agree, does everyone else agree?
AR: Everyone would say yes or no.
- if anyone disagrees ask them to explain why.
T: Right, they are trying to give us the confidence to be ourselves, and when your moms or even
you when you’re older, are at the grocery store and you have 3 different brands of pads, you are
more likely to buy ​Always​ because of this powerful message they are putting out. Now let's look
at the ​“S​ prite Ad,” and identify some strategies used in that ad.
AR: Celebrities, music, repetition, Bandwagon and humour.
T: Yes! They had Lebron James, and Lil Yachty to endorse to sprite. Does Anyone know what
endorse means?
10
AR: ​Endorse means they are supporting the product.
T: Yes, celebrities support the product. Why do you think they use celebrities in commercials?
AR: So that if we see them using it, we will want to use that product also.
T: Yes! They are hoping that by using a celebrity it will get us to be just like them and buy the
clothes or products that they support. Now, you guys said they used “Bandwagon” as one of the
strategies. Can anyone explain to me what bandwagon means again and how they used it in that
ad?
AR: It means that since other people are drinking sprite, you should too. They said in the ad that
since cool people are drinking it and Lebron said #wannasprite.
T: Exactly! You all noticed that Lebron said Sprite about a ​thousand ​times! Did anyone find it
effective/good and I want you to explain why or why not.
AR: Yes because the sprite is now stuck in my head OR No because I found it annoying
- Varied Responses depending on their preference
T: What were some of the things that you liked about each commercial?
AR: Varied responses based on their preferences
T: Was there anything that you didn’t like about the commercials?
AR: Varied responses based on their preferences
