I proceed teaching my graphic design unit in grade 9 and my grade 3 drama class the use of voice for persuasion. We lightly began discussing infomercials as an off topic. I then remembered the video below (it is a little old now and I believe the order number is no longer in service — sorry). Of course, I will not use this with my grade 3s but perhaps you need an advertising/infomercial/commercial resource for film/video/social studies to ignite a conversation starter or to show the whole absurdity of this? Have a look at it. All I can really say is “far out.” More Culture of Fear anyone? (Thanks to Luke S. for the forward about one year ago).
