 * the audience (readers) you would like to have.
 * the name you would like for your on-line magazine.
 * the sponsors you want in your e-zine.

Thursday (First hour):
1. Go to [|www.google.com], and do some search for “on-line magazines” or “e-zines”

2. Notice that these types of magazines, just like printed magazines need to have advertisements. Why is it important for a magazine to have ads?

3. What is a “displayed ad”, do you know? What are its characteristics?

4. Go to [|www.onelook.com], and search for the meanings of these words: (Discuss the meanings of those two words as a whole-class discussion)
 * Advertisement
 * Display
 * Display Ad

5. Navigate some online journals, look at the display ads they have, and try to see **what they have in common**, regarding images and texts.
 * **[|Metropolis Magazine]**
 * **[|Architectural Record]**
 * **[|Planetizen]**

6. For more information on the characteristics of display ads, [|check this site]. For previewing some examples of Displayed ads, click [|here].



Thursday (Second hour):
7. Now that you are an expert in display ads, your task is that of creating a display ad announcing an architectural / urban design product. You can use Power Point, Paint, [|Groupboard] or [|Gliffy] Note: Professor Dafne González recommends "**Gliffy**, and "Groupboard". Why don’t you try them out?

8. Once your display ad is ready to be shown to the public, post it to your personal page in wikispaces.


 * Notes from Prof. Dafne:**

With **Groupboard**, you need to take a screenshot of your drawing, paste it to Paint, and save it as JPEG or GIF, to be able to upload it to the wiki. When you use **Gliffy**, it generates links which can be posted to the wiki directly - click on the //publish// button to get these links.

9. Write a radio commercial to promote the product in your display ad!!! Post it to your personal wiki page for correction.

(Podcast 2: Display Ad Recording 3 pts)
10. Once your radio commercial script has been corrected by your teacher in moodle, record your ad in using Grabadora de Sonidos.

11. Enter a classmate’s wiki page, click on the discussion tab and write a comment about his/her ad
