Each team will create a diagram, on a poster board, of their favorite car. For example, they might draw a line from a tire to an informative caption that traces the process of turning raw rubber into a tire. Have a spokesperson for each team present the completed diagram to the whole group. Display the posters so that students can study them individually or in teams. Some students may be able to diagram the process by which a car reaches an owner, that is, the parts moving to the manufacturer from different plants, being put together on an assembly line, shipping to showrooms, and so forth.
Students can print advertisements for automobiles to analyze the persuasive language.
They highlight words and ideas with strong emotional content and make an oral presentation to describe how that language is used to persuade buyers.
