An Introduction to Advertising 7-11yrs

10x 20 minute activities

Primary school resources to be used across the curriculum

Our materials use real and current examples of advertising to help teach the main concepts and practices of core media literacy skills.

These materials are based on literacy teaching with the aim of:

Teaching advertising and media literacy skills using active learning resources across a range of contexts.

Giving children a much greater understanding of advertising, its purpose and methods.

They aim to develop pupils’ ability to ‘read’, understand, discuss and write about print, still and moving-image advertising in different media.
