This site works students through the advertising process. http://www.adcracker.com/2008/index.htm It allows students to review guidelines and advertisements on how to create effective advertisements for visual media. The students can then divide into groups and create their own advertisement. The advertisements can be submitted and then evaluated by AdCracker. This project gives excellent examples and guidelines where students understand the “whys” of why some advertisements work and other don’t.
