**Evidence1:** Multimedia Lesson Plan  **Rationale 1:** I created this short project for my Advanced 9 English class, in order to teach the concept of slogans and advertising techniques.

This lesson plan is fun, but also requires students to research and critically think about these slogans that they are familiar with.
