Promo Probe

This worksheet guides students to think critically about an advertisement by questioning claims, assumptions, missing information, and reliability. Students read the ad and then answer critical-thinking questions about the product, its promises, potential exaggerations, and what a cautious consumer should consider. They learn to distinguish between evidence-based statements and unsupported claims. This activity teaches skepticism, responsible consumption, and thoughtful analysis of persuasive messaging.
