Plan a Persuasive Advertisement for a New Invention

Look at a cereal box or a toy ad together and find the slogan and the features. Then let your child invent a product and fill in the planner before drawing it.

Read a made-up model ad for Snap Laces, then plan an ad for your own invention with a slogan, 3 features and its audience. An ad tries to persuade its audience, the people it is for. The directions on the page read: Read the topic and the model. Then, write the product name and a slogan, and draw it in the picture box. Then, fill in 3 features, each with why it helps. Then, write who it is for. Then, use your plan to write your draft on lined paper.

Yes, both. We made it for 5th Grade opinion writing, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with writing advertisements. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

An ad has a claim, reasons and an audience, just like an opinion essay. Each feature works like a reason, and why it helps works like evidence.

A short, catchy phrase people remember, like tie once, run all day for the model shoelaces. The invention planner has a line for the slogan under the product name.

The short ad page has one. The invention planner is open, so check that each feature says why it helps and that the ad names who it is for.
