BUT when you take it out of the to-go bag it looks more like this?

Have you ever seen a misleading ad? Post a picture or video below. Tell me who the target audience is, what about it is false, and why it appeals to you in particular. Has the false advertising worked and made them popular, or do they have a bad name now? Use your media literacy skills to analyze advertisements in the hopes of never being fooled again!!

Parents, this activity helps students interpret and analyze media messages. By practicing with every day media messages like food advertisements, students will begin to develop the skills that can help them be media literate on a larger scale! I encourage you to participate in this activity as well!
