Choose an ad from a magazine

Choose an ad from a magazine, television, or radio for brief analysis, or critique. Your analysis should be 300-500 words in length, including a description of the advertisement. Identify and define any fallacies that are in the advertisement. Explain why the ad is effective or ineffective as a persuasive tool. You should describe the ad in detail at the beginning of your paper. The description will count as part of the length requirement.

Cite your sources using APA formatting.

Consider the following questions as you create your paper:

Fallacies
Were fallacies identified and defined correctly?
Word Choice/Effective Sentences/Punctuation/Spelling and Mechanics
Have you eliminated all needless or pretentious language from the text?
Are ideas parallel?
Are words added to make the writing logical and complete?
Are verbs consistent in mood and voice?
Is the paper void of spelling and mechanical errors?
Advertisement
Did you include a description of the advertisement?
