ADS FOR ELT – ‘MACHO CAR’ [2] This activity plays on stereotypes. Here is the idea: you tell your students they are advertisers, and they have to design an ad for a ridiculously ‘Macho’ car – with the horsepower of space rocket, the acceleration of a bullet, etc. Then they can compare their efforts with this little gem. They can listen to this (spoof) ad and make a note of the car’s features You can follow this up with a discussion about stereotypes themselves: how widespread they are, what pernicious effects they can have and what we can do to counter them. Level: B2 – C1. Topic: Stereotypes / Advertising / Cars – Driving. youtu.be/CN8Ub7ImMMU [NB: There is a similar Ad for a ‘Girlie Car’ – These are meant to go to together: youtu.be/9-e2lTNVuO0 / To see the script just click on ‘Show More’ under the clip; for a handout, go to michelioudakis.org (Comedy Handouts 7)]
