Si los tráilers de los videojuegos pudieran hablar: aprenda sobre persuasión y mensajes

Minecraft, Fortnite, Pokemon! Was that trailer realistic? Intriguing? How did it make you feel? What do you think the programmer's message was? Let's do some critical thinking and learn how persuasion affects the meaning of advertisements.

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 a video game trailer 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 trailer is. Since this is a one-time class, each class will have a different trailer that will be discussed. 

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

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