**Brief Description:**  Students will present information, concepts, and ideas to persuade someone about a topic using appropriate media and adapting to various audiences of listeners, readers, or viewers.

**Know Before You Start:** Students should be familiar with techniques commonly used by advertisers.

**Hook:**

- Ask students: 
    - “What information do ads typically include?”
    - “Why is it important to be able to recommend a product in another language?”
    - “What are some ways we can convince other people to buy a product or service?”

**Activity:**

- As a class, have students discuss vocabulary for persuasion.
- Have students discuss different ways to positively describe something.
- Have students create a list of reasons to use as a script for an ad.
- Using the sample comic as a guide, have students create a comic in the target language using their script to convince others to buy something.

**Closure:**

- Have students share their comics with the class or in small groups.
- Have students explain why they chose the product featured in their comic.
- Discuss why it’s important to be able to make recommendations in a different language.
- Emphasize that this activity helps students share preferences and practice persuasion in the target language.

**Differentiation:**

- Allow students to use the speech-to-text feature.
- Allow students to work in pairs or groups as needed.
- Allow students to use the voiceover feature to read their comics aloud.
- Include a list of products from which to choose.
- Students may find it helpful to draft their script in English first, then the target language, if they find it difficult to create original sentences in the target language.
- Allow students to use digital dictionaries/translators as appropriate for your class policy.
