2. Fill in the ad types on the table.
3. Flip through the magazine page by page, using the chart like a tally sheet by making marks to characterize each advertisement as you flip through.
4. When you are done flipping through the magazine, total the number of marks and write the number of each type of ad in the block. Then circle the number.
5. Now flip through the magazine again. This time, look for how many "young" versus "old" people are shown in the advertisements (by sex) as well as "thin" women and "buff" men. Tally these as you did the types of advertisements. Continue to complete the chart
