This site is designed to be both a lesson plan\/activity, and at the same time, a valuable resource for educators and parents who want their kids to become media literate when it comes to television and advertising.<\/p>\n

I first conducted this “activity” for teachers in Orlando, Florida while employed by the\u00a0Orange County Public School system, where as\u00a0a media educator I was\u00a0interested\u00a0 in providing teachers with professional development opportunities. Typically, I would conduct\u00a0this workshop in late October or early November, because this is the time of year when toy commercials become\u00a0 increasingly more prevalent. But this activity can be done anytime and with any toy commercial.<\/p>\n

Since this activity was first created, the explosion in children’s media has created numerous new television and cable networks on which toy commercials can be found (e.g. The Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, just to name a few). Fair use guidelines of the copyright law allow you to record commercials and use them in the classroom for instruction.<\/p>\n
