Ads for 2/13

You do get to watch some form of television for homework. (I looked for a good online episode of Alvin and the Chipmonks circa 1980s, but have yet to find one of good quality...I'll keep looking).

Advertisments are a rhetorician's gold. In class on Wednesday we'll be looking at some of these ads and discussing how they are working--or not (rhetoically, of course). Please view three "best" and three "worst" ads and take a few notes (so that you are prepared with something to say) on what is working/not working within those texts.

Key to discussing the ads will be a discussion of audience, so do thing about which segments of viewers are being targeted by the ads.
