Contraceptive+Commericals

Contraceptives

You will be creating a commercial on one contraceptive method that does not need a prescription. Use my Delicious resources (tags = BC, contraceptives, OTC) to research the method you have been assigned. Site all sources used on a separate piece of paper.

Pretend that you work for an ad agency that promotes your method of contraception. Design a one minute television commercial to market your contraceptive method to teenagers. Be sure to emphasize what makes the method effective and easy to use.

Groups will act out their commercials in class - each group member must participate in some capacity for the class presentation.
