Students use the linked resources to find answers to these questions and create a document stating these answers. Students create a Fact Sheet for display or inclusion in their book. The Surgeon General's Web Page is a good source for this. Students are given one magazine. Students will analyze these graphs to determine who the magazine targets and write a paragraph describing their ad audience and noting the number of cigarette ads.
Students then determine the percentage of advertisements, in each magazine, for tobacco products.
Students create for their display or book, a list of magazines containing the highest percentage of tobacco ads, and a list of those not advertising tobacco products and the addresses of all of the listed magazines. Students then redesign that ad drawing more appropriate surroundings and words that express the truth about tobacco products. Finally, students will write letters to tobacco companies expressing their thoughts and feelings about the way each company advertises.
