What Influences My Choices?
Visual Prompt: How do you use different sources of information to help you make decisions about what to buy or to do?
Unit Overview
People choose to do something, buy something, or think a certain way for many reasons. Often, it’s because they have seen something in the media promoting it. In this unit, you will analyze print, visual, and film texts that are common in the media and advertising.

You will analyze the components of argumentation by reading argumentative essays, news articles, and speeches.
