Early Farmers v. Hunter Gatherers

Hi Adriane Musacchio ! I've done this marketing activity (adapted from a WHP activity) for foraging vs. farming that's generally well received and ends up being a great review activity. I keep it to one 50 minute period and leave time at the end of class for presentations. I've occasionally pulled in another teacher to be the "big boss" who decides which ad is most compelling.

This was one of my favorite ads. The bottom part was designed to fold down dramatically during the presentation 

Did you see this article from OER? I feel like it would help with your debate.

I totally tried this out as an extension activity last week- thank you for sharing this!!! This is such a great concept to apply to any content really. In order to make a marketing poster of any kind, students must exhibit both understanding and analysis skills. Perfect for an end of unit activity or topic sum up! I’ll be keeping this in mind for other units as well! 

Thank you for sharing this article, Freda! I integrated parts of this article into my unit! 

That's great to hear! And I like that it's something you can "accordion"--extend to a full-scale project when you have the time or reduce to a quick formative check when you don't!
