When to use this goal

For high school and transition-age students who need to judge sponsored posts, influencer content and online ads. Present levels in critical reading and written or oral response, not grade, decide fit.

Baseline
Score one or two analyses of ads with this rubric. Note whether the student can say what is left out, which is the hardest row and the most useful one for daily life.
Tips
Use ads for things students actually buy (phones, shoes, games, subscriptions). Links to consumer skills and financial literacy goals for transition-age students.
Limits
Ads change quickly; keep a stable set for probes. The goal does not measure actual purchasing choices.
