Explanation

In a group, plan an advert for a new product: Product (what it is), Name, Logo, Slogan, Cost, Where it will be sold, Unique features. Choose two places to advertise: TV, radio, a poster, a newspaper or door-to-door. For radio write what each person says and what the jingle sounds like. For a poster say what is in the picture and which colours you use. Presentation: “Our product is called ...”, “It costs ...”, “You can buy it at ...”, “Its unique feature is ...”. Listeners give feedback: “I liked ...”, “I would change ...”. The feedback should be polite and give a reason.

Worked examples
Our product is called “FlipBook”. It is a notebook with pages you can erase. It costs 25,000 sums. You can buy it at bookshops. Its unique feature is that it saves paper. Our slogan is “Write. Erase. Repeat.”
Feedback: I liked your slogan because it is short. I would change the poster colours because the text is hard to read.
Class activity

“Advert festival”: groups present adverts; another group writes “Things I liked” and “Things I would change”.
