How Are We ‘Supposed’ to Be
This is the eighth lesson in the Reading Ads with a Social Justice Lens series.
Advertisements often send constructed messages about how families are supposed to look, implying, for instance, that all families should live in houses and have a lot of money or that parents should be heterosexual. Only by recognizing these messages can children learn to avoid their often harmful effects such as marginalizing kids whose families are different, or whose homelife is different.

Showing More of Us
This is the ninth lesson in the Reading Ads with a Social Justice Lens series.
On one hand, it is easy to argue for more diversity in advertising. On the other hand, asking for diversity creates the danger of tokenism—the idea that it is OK to have a member of a minority ethnic group represent the entire group. Children are capable, if given the opportunity, of seeing many sides to this argument. They need the chance to weigh the pros and cons of increased diversity of representation in the media and work toward figuring out where their own opinions lie.

Reading Ads with a Social Justice Lens
Children are surrounded – and targeted – by advertisements: on television, the computer, even on their journeys to and from school. Children need specific strategies for reading and talking about advertisements and their impact.
Reading Ads with a Social Justice Lens is a series of 13 multidisciplinary mini-lessons that provide such strategies and build critical literacy. The lessons are designed for students in grades K-5 and include suggestions for simple adaptations.
These lessons open up important conversations about the relationship between advertisements and social justice. Children will see that they have the power to decide how media will influence them. They will also engage in social justice projects that address some of the unfair messages they find in advertising.

Who Is There?
This is the seventh lesson in the Reading Ads with a Social Justice Lens series.
Once children have been introduced to the idea of representation in advertisements, they can begin to consider its effects. Being well represented in advertising may be positive or negative, and it is important for children to form their own opinions on the impact of advertising representation. Children must also be given the language for expressing the strong emotions these discussions may evoke.

Representation in Advertising
This is the sixth lesson in the Reading Ads with a Social Justice Lens series.
Advertisements’ biased representations can affect our perceptions of others. For example, ads may show some groups of people more than others. They may also represent people in ways that reinforce stereotypes and biases. Children need to be taught to notice which groups are underrepresented or misrepresented in advertisements, particularly when the ads are in their own communities.

How Advertising Breaks Down Stereotypes
This lesson is the fifth in the Readings Ads with a Social Justice Lens series.
If advertisements can perpetuate stereotypes, they also have the power to break them down. Children are sensitive to messages that are unfair or inaccurate, and they need opportunities to respond. Creative expression is a way for children to make their opinions about social justice issues heard and become active participants in the world.

How Advertising Perpetuates Stereotypes
Advertisements do more than just sell products; they play a role in creating and perpetuating stereotypes as well. We can reduce the power advertisements have to reinforce stereotypes by teaching children to identify and analyze stereotypical messages.
