Writing Assignment
This practice assignment is not an essay. Instead, put into practice what you have learned about
the development of the middle class to create your own car advertisement that appeals to the
values you just identified.
• You can target your advertisement to either a modern or turn-of-the-century audience, just be
sure to identify which one you choose.
• Don't worry if you aren't an artist. You can design your own car, or borrow an image. But be sure
to give credit to your image source.
• Write your own advertising copy. Make sure your ad appeals to the values of the middle class
at the turn of either the 20th or 21st centuries. It doesn't matter if you give your car a new
name or use an existing one.
Be sure to show off your best writing skills.
