●        Which brands are mocked in the video?

Post task

The project consists in making an anti happiness-all-the time-forever-and-ever campaign. They will need to choose one video ad that promises happiness and dub it so that the message advocates for the right of having negative feelings or states and not hiding them. Here are some examples of videos they can use:

Coca-cola https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzp7Ov8wqPc

Coca-cola https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBg_sJzyycg

Coca-cola https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgVvF_rb9mM

Nocilla – Bocadillos de felicidad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBkykE8KvqI

Heineken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1ZZreXEqSY

Mc Donalds https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=39&v=i4I501Grskc

Procedure:

1. Students watch all the videos and choose one (they can choose another video that is not here if the teacher agrees)
2. Write the dialogue
3. Record their voices like this: FILM the students while the video is being played in a laptop and students are reading their dialogues aloud*If this doesn’t work, ask students to only represent it.
