Unit 1

How Am I Influenced by Images?

Lesson 4

Reflect on Your Viewing

This lesson is about reflecting on what you learned about advertisers manipulating messages to attract different buyers, new vocabulary words, and images creating a point of view.


Vocabulary Word Wall

Read the vocabulary words on page 76 of Literacy in Action.

Do you know the meaning of all of these words? Have you placed all of them in your Unit 1 Vocabulary Word Wall? Are there any more words you need to add?


Choose five words from the previous three lessons for your Vocabulary Word Wall and enter them. Examples are

foreground, background, mid ground, buzz words, folks, technical, experts, symbols, famous, bandwagon, snob, glittering generality, criticism, competitor, slogan, subject

Advertisers choose words that are popular with consumers and typically have positive feelings associated with them.

For example, phrases like pure, natural, people you can trust, smart money and old fashioned values are used in ads. Usually advertisements have a slogan, a short memorable phrase, in large letters at the top of the advertisement.

“Sometimes Good News Can’t Wait” is one slogan. What are the slogans of the other two posters?
