Students in this class have been working this past week on creating a label for a bottle. This activity is to help students understand how advertising influences our purchases, Students can make their labels for a pop, coffee, energy or juice drink. Each label is to contain eight items:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A logo with a description and a promotion (win a prize)<\/li>\n
  2. Nutrition Facts (required by law) which describes the serving size, calories and such.<\/li>\n
  3. Ingredients (also required by law)<\/li>\n
  4. A recycle symbol<\/li>\n
  5. A deposit of 10 cents<\/li>\n
  6. The bar code (what is scanned at the check out)<\/li>\n
  7. Company information (a website or address)<\/li>\n
  8. The size of the bottle (12 fl. oz. or 20 fl. oz.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    To continue our unit on advertising students will next choose a Public Service Announcement (PSA) and create a commercial using power point. A public service announcement does not sell a product but is used to inform the audience. To find examples of PSA’s take a look at the website below:<\/p>\n
