The true colors of Oliviero Toscani
I adapted this reading from different interviews made to Oliviero Toscani related to his work for Benetton. He talks about his ideas on advertisement and what reactions he wanted to create on viewers. I have used this activity with advanced students, after reading and answering the reading comprenhension exercises, you show students different ads Oliviero Toscani created for Benneton (I have uploaded 20 different images in 3 different powerpoint to acompany the activity which I chose from different periods) and they must talk about what they think the idea behind the image was, how they feel about the subject of the image, what they can do to help solve the issue, and any additional question you may want to add. Students get very excited about this conversation activity.
Finally I have created an additional activity you may assign as homework so students can practice writing.
They have to open a link in you tube (the link is indicated in the worksheet below the reading)watch the ad and then answer the activity.
Hope you find it useful!
