Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Create a clear truthful practice advert for a fictional service.
Ask for an example of one prerequisite idea; revisit if needed. Historical graph coverage does not establish this learner’s readiness.
Use the fictional event brief and poster frame. No actual sale, account, posting, contact details or public location is required.
Use supplied stage sheets on screen or scrap paper; keep adult keys separate.
Use the fictional scenarios. Passing is allowed. Do not ask for private money amounts, account details, family conflict, identity or health information. Keep only minimal local learning notes.
Supplied data are explicitly practice data, not observations. Record only what is actually attempted; absent equipment, consent, partner or repeated observations means that part remains pending.
Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.
Teaching limits and safe use
These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.
Fictional design and channel knowledge, not marketing performance or permission to publish.

Check understanding
- Design a simple poster or advert for a product or service
- Name at least three ways to let people know about something you're selling
- Explain why a catchy name or eye-catching design helps sell more
“If your child wanted to advertise a car wash or bake sale, could they design a poster that would make people want to come?”
