This project, designed for 5th graders, integrates English, art, and technology subjects to teach students how to create persuasive visual advertisements using AI tools. Through brainstorming, refining product concepts, and utilizing design principles, students learn to craft compelling product narratives and visually appealing advertisements. They explore AI tools like DALL-E and Canva to create visual assets, and compile these into a digital advertisement. The project concludes with students presenting their final ads, reflecting on their design process, and improving their use of AI platforms for creative expression.
