AoA’s goal is to make sure that all older Americans and their families have the information and assistance they need to make informed decisions about their life choices now and in the future, choices that help people maintain and improve their health as they age. II. Structural analysis Teaching Procedure 1. Pre-reading questions 1) What do you think is the most important political event in the U. S.? 2) How often is the presidential election held in the States? 3) What does “selling” in the title tell you? Selling is synonymous with promotion which is often associated with money and brand-image building. Quite a large amount of money is spent by candidates to buy prime-time advertisement spots to appeal to the viewers and presumably potential voters. Candidates try to create a favorable image and portray the opponents in an unfavorable way. Candidates are unavoidably implicated in personal attacks. It implies that Presidential candidates are somewhat like commodities: the better advertised they are on TV, the better they sell. 2. Reading 1) Read the passage, and answer the following questions: a. Why did the quoted campaign specialist say the candidate needed to “keep his mouth shut” for the success in the election? Since the 1896 campaign, the election of a President has largely depended on whether favorable publicity of a candidate can be made. Prior to the 1960s when TV surpassed newspapers as an information source for the first time, the medium that played the dominant role in the publicity campaign was print, which laid emphasis on “issues” rather than “images”. The success in generating favorable publicity wad up to the campaign strategist, thus making it necessary or even desirable for the candidate to “keep his mouth shut” before the medium. b. What did Jimmy Carter’s election illustrate? According to the author, Jimmy carter’s election was a proof of the new trend that the electorate’s image of the candidate was a greater determinant of his success than his “platforms”, i.e. his policies. As a matter of fact, carter was devoted to gaining the trust of the voters. His favorable image and rapport with the voters pushed him to power, though the electorate actually knew very little of his policy. c. What is implied by “today’s burning issue is tomorrow’s historical footnote”? This means that what is of vital importance today will become a trifle tomorrow. By this the author implies that issues should not be regarded as a top factor in the campaign. It is the “person”, not the “issue”, that deserves more attention. 2) Structure of the text Part (Para. 1) thesis statement: Presidential election has been determined largely by heavy spot buying on electronic media in recent years Part (Para. 2-11) main body: the discussion of the impact of television on American Presidential election Part (Para. 12) conclusion: it is very important to develop a sense of what kind of person we
