10D HW Due Thursday 30th January

I have emailed you all the PowerPoint from today's lesson including the additional materials used. Please ensure you go through it thoroughly and let me know if you need any help. You can e-mail me or come and see me on Thursday after school.

Your controlled assessment dates are:

Thursday 30th January - 1 hour
Tuesday 4th February - 2 hours

In preparation, you need to create an essay plan to guide your writing during the assessment. If you fail to do this you will still have to go ahead and do your assessment. If you miss any lessons for whatever reason, you will have to catch up the time after school.  

All the adverts, terminology and appeals can be found on the advertising page.

Reminder: It is worth 15% of your overall GCSE.

10B HW - Comparison table: Listerine and Folgers

10B HW Due Monday 13th January

Complete the table, comparing the Listerine (1920s) print advert to the Folgers (1950s) TV advert. Remember to focus on how women are represented and what it tells us about society.

Listerine print advert - 1920s
Edna’s case was a really pathetic one. Like every woman, her primary ambition was to marry. Most of the girls of her set were married—or about to be. Yet not one possessed more grace or charm or loveliness than she.   

And as her birthdays crept gradually toward that tragic thirty-mark, marriage seemed farther from her life than ever.

She was often a bridesmaid but never a bride.

That’s the insidious thing about halitosis (unpleasant breath). You, yourself, rarely know when you have it. And ever your closest friends won’t tell you.

Sometimes, of course, halitosis comes from some deep-seated organic disorder that requires professional advice. But usually—and fortunately—halitosis is only a local condition that yields to the regular use of Listerine as a mouth wash and gargle. It is an interesting thing that this well-known antiseptic that has been in use for years for surgical dressings, possesses these unusual properties as breath deodorant.

It halts food fermentation in the mouth and leaves the breath sweet, fresh and clean. Not by substituting some other odour but by really removing the old one. The Listerine odour itself quickly disappears . So the systematic use of Listerine puts you on the safe and polite side.

Your druggist will supply you with Listerine. He sells lots of it. It has dozens of different uses as a safe antiseptic and has been trusted as such for half a century. Read the interesting little booklet that comes with every bottle.
