Lesson Design:
- Explain that effective campaigns have an overall theme that ties all of the parts of the campaign together, and a campaign’s name, logo and slogan are linked to the theme of the campaign.
– A logo is a unique symbol or design that represents a company or organization.
– A slogan is a distinctive phrase or motto for a party, a group, a company or a person. It is a ‘catch-phrase.’
- Distribute and review the Name/Logo/Slogan/Theme handout with students, discussing examples of logos and slogans.
- Students work in groups to brainstorm possible campaign names, logos and slogans.
- Students should come to class the following day prepared with a list of ideas for their group and, if applicable, reflect on the choice their group made.
