Lesson Plan Breakdown
1. Warm-Up: Creative Icebreaker (10 mins)
Activity:
Ask the student:
“What’s your all-time favourite commercial?”
“What made it memorable - the story, music, humour, or message?”
Then:
Play one of my commercials (eg. Eukanuba Dogs)
Ask follow-up questions:
- What emotion does this evoke?
- How does the visual style help the message?
- Would this ad work in another country/culture?
2. Vocabulary Boost: Branding & Persuasion (5 mins)
Introduce key terms:
- Target audience
- Brand identity
- Hook / slogan / tagline
- Emotional appeal
3. Activity: Ad Critique & Analysis (15 mins)
Play another short commercial (or show one of my print ads).
Ask the student to analyze it:
- Who is the target audience?
- What’s the message?
- Is it effective? Why or why not?
- What elements stood out: tone, pacing, visuals, script?
4. Main Speaking Task: Creative Pitch Challenge (20 mins)
