Learning Target(s):

  • I can draw connections between photoshop manipulation and marketing.

Announcement(s):
  • Tomorrow is a Thursday Schedule
    • Lopez and Mr. P classes moved Tuesday & Wednesday

Agenda : [50 depending on discussions]
  • Consuming Kids:
    • Consuming Kids throws desperately needed light on the practices of a relentless multi-billion dollar marketing machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational products and the family car. 
    • Part 1: Introduction - Pair share with report
      • How have new technologies like the internet, iPods, cell phones, and 24-hour children’s TV programming made children more available – and vulnerable – to commercial messages? 
      • Do you feel that there are, or should be, societal or moral reservations about marketers approaching children at such early ages? 
      • Does it work?
    • Part 2: The Floodgates Open
      • How has deregulation contributed, specifically, to these changes in marketing? 
    • Part 3: By Any Means Necessary
      • How does branding beloved children’s characters serve the interests of marketers? How does this process work, specifically? What kind of psychological, social, or behavioral impact do you think this might have on the targeted child?
