A Collection of Advertisements (Created by Mrs. Radner's 4th Grade Class)
- 1. By Mrs. Radner’s 4th Graders Created in Technology Class with Ms. Rothfeld May 2013
- 2. Dear Viewer, The fourth graders and I would like to share with you one of our favorite projects of the school year: student-created advertisements. The students began by viewing real print and online advertisements, and explored the use of language, humor, photographs, and design, to gain insight on what makes certain advertising strategies successful. Students then designed their own collection of ads for real and fictitious businesses and products. Each ad was created as a PowerPoint slide. Students developed skills in creativity, design, and persuasion. They learned and practiced the effective use of text in headlines, text boxes, speaking and thinking bubbles; text effects, Word Art styles, position, and rotation; working with photos, picture effects, cropping, and other modifications; layering objects; inserting and formatting shapes with outlines, fills, and textures; selecting slide design themes; using dark on light and light on dark when working with text, graphics, and backgrounds; visual appeal and strategic placement and emphasis of elements; and much more. The goals of the project were presented in the authentic context of students being “hired” for a summer internship at an advertising company. They were to prove their skills in the use of technology, creativity, and design in order to be considered for a full-time position. The following slide show displays what each student chose as his or her best work. Included are an introduction and closing with a message from “Specialty Advertising,” the fictitious company at which students were aiming to secure a job. Liat Rothfeld K-4 Technology Teacher

- 4. After reviewing your submissions, we have reconsidered our offer. Originally, we had planned on only accepting four of you for a full time job at our company. However, we were not expecting the level of talent and creativity that you showed in designing your advertisements. We feel our company can benefit from all of your skills in technology, humor, design, and thinking outside the box. We would like to offer each and every one of you a job at our company. With your help, Specialty Advertising will reach new levels of success. Sincerely yours, L.R. Director, Specialty Advertising
