Follow+up

Follow up activity/Homework
Ask the students to go home and watch television or go online and see what is being sold to them.

Take notes on certain commercials, advertisements, television shows, and so on.

Questions: Do you notice any patterns? What do you think these commercials tell you about your society?

Write 2-3 paragraphs and bring in the notes taken while observing.

The students will then have a chance to see how culture effects the materials/products of their time.

EX: Why are the wives still cleaning the houses in commercials when it is more current to see women in the work force as well?
