This learning resource focuses on the analysis of persuasive techniques in advertisements, emphasizing the identification of target audiences and the ethical implications of advertising practices. Students will learn to define and recognize three key rhetorical appeals: Ethos (credibility), Pathos (emotions), and Logos (logic), while also exploring additional techniques such as Bandwagon and Testimonials. Through guided analysis of a sample billboard, students will evaluate the effectiveness of these techniques and assess whether the advertisement presents information ethically. Reflection on consumer responsibility encourages students to critically consider how advertising affects their purchasing decisions and to identify ways companies can promote their products ethically.
