WEEKLY BLOGPOST

Part 1: MEDIA TEXTS

1.  Please find a media text online that is advertised effectively.  Why was it effective? (t-shirt, commercial, advertisement, poster)

2.  Upload a picture of your chosen text

3.  Identify who the text is for.

4.  How might a different audience respond to this text.

I recently purchased two items from Lululemon.  One was a gift card for a birthday present.  I was amazed at the creativity and the unique design of the text on the card.  The second gift I bought was a shirt that came in their traditional red bag.  For once, I actually read the words on the bag and I found them quite inspiring.

Part 2:  Imagine your teacher saying that you can learn about any topic that interests you.  List your top 8 topics (Example:  Tyrannosaurus Rex, Writing and performing your own guitar solo, Building a model of the Eiffel Tower)
