Multiple Meaning Commercials

Sometimes it pays to watch the commercials! GEICO has been doing a series of humorous ads for home insurance where the homeowners make a complaint that turns out not to be what we thought they meant- rather an alternate meaning of their plight. Video can be a motivating way to explore metalinguistics with your students, and each of these has a social/situational awareness element as well (e.g. why passive aggressive comments from aunts--pronounced ants--can be a problem).

  3. I’ve been with GEICO for a while, and their rates are always competitive! It’s great to see a company that offers affordable coverage without sacrificing service.

  4. Dental insurance helps cover the costs of routine cleanings, fillings, extractions, and more. Preventive care is key to avoiding more serious oral health issues, and having a good dental plan ensures you can afford regular checkups and necessary treatments. Look for plans that offer comprehensive coverage, including orthodontics if needed.
