A note to teachers

On the following slides, we have provided YouTube links for three food advertisements. These are meant to serve as examples of commercials geared specifically toward children. Please feel free to use other food advertisements of your choosing to help your students learn how to be a smart consumer.

Please also be aware that the “social” nature of YouTube makes it difficult to screen for questionable comments or ads. We recommend viewing videos in full screen with your class so that no comments or ads are visible.
