Was that Christmas commercial funny? Sad? How did it make you feel? What do you think the M&M's were trying to say through their commercial? Let's do some critical thinking and learn how persuasion affects the meaning of commercials.

Rhetorical thinking is the act to discover the meaning behind something and how the author uses persuasion to get his or her audience to feel and think a certain way.

In this class, students ages 10-15, will be shown Christmas commercials and will be asked to analyze it through their senses, emotions, feelings, and thoughts. As a group, we will talk about what each person sees and thinks and discuss what we believe the meaning of the commercial is. Since this is a one-time class, each class will have a different commercial that will be discussed. This class may help students become empathetic toward others. United States of America as well as international commercials will be shown. 

This class is perfect for students who are interested in deep thinking, need extra critical thinking practice, or just want to watch Christmas commercials.

MATERIALS NEEDED FOR CLASS:
-Paper and pencil or note pad on computer for taking a few notes.

Welcome to Cross Life Ventures Global Academy! 

My name is Katelyn Miller and am the founder of Cross Life Ventures Global Academy. I am a certified school counselor in the state of Pennsylvania.

As an online teacher, I empower my students to learn and be who they are. 

During my 15 years of youth development experience, I have educated future leaders while obtaining a Master of Science degree and a Bachelor of Arts degree. My Master of Science degree is from Walden University in school counseling and my Bachelor of Arts degree is from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in communication studies and public relations. 

Cross Life Ventures is my own community development business that focuses on building people, youth,  businesses, and communities up. 

Outside of my classroom, I love traveling, learning about culture, playing piano, photography, video editing, and volunteering to help others. 

Learning in any way is important and I look forward to seeing your child in my classroom!
