Completing the reading assignment for this unit will allow you to more effectively and productively engage in the Discussion. After posting your response, please remember to review and respond to the posts of your classmates.
Print Advertisement
Find a print advertisement that makes an argument. The conclusion of most advertisements will be to “buy this product,” “vote for this candidate,” or other actions that may be unstated. Choose a print advertisement that you find interesting. Describe it to the class with detail so your fellow classmates and instructor can understand the images and words being used. You may attach the ad, if possible, but even in this case, it is necessary to describe what you see.
Next, follow examples from the assigned chapter; give a basic analysis of that advertisement. Be sure to label the elements present such as the issue, conclusions, premises, and claims. Which images and words lead you to label the argument as you do?
