Week 5 & 6
Project – Present your #ad MAVO/HAVO/VWO
After having learned about the era of the Industrial Revolution in England, it is time to make the transfer to the modern day era of consumerism.
This theme you did work on designing, producing and selling your own product during Arts, Humanics and Science class. In English class, we’re going to continue this process by making a presentation. In three classes we’re going to write, prepare and present our commercial/ad. Below you can see what we’re going to do.
Class one and two
Preparation
- Together with three other classmates, you are going to form a group of four. These groups do not have to be on the same level. For example: mavo students can work together with havo students.
- Together with the rest of your group, think about a product that you want to sell/promote. This could be the product that you’ve used in your research or this could be any other product that you would like to sell/promote. Think about commercials that you see on television (Tel Sell for example).
- Let your expert know who is in your group and which product you are going to sell/promote.
- Watch some commercials to see how it’s done!

Task
- Make a list of all the props and requirements that you are going to need for your presentation. Think about a slideshow, the product that you want to sell, who says what and other things that you might need for your video. This preparation has to be handed in together with your final product.
- Together, you are going to write the script for your presentation. Thoroughly think about who is saying what at which point. One of the requirements is that all of you have to say something in your presentation. So, in the end, everybody has spoken an equal amount of lines/text in the commercial. The script also has to be included in your final product.
- Grammar goals: in your commercial, you have to use several grammatical structures that we’ve learned during out basics lessons. Use the Present tenses, Past tenses and Future tenses you learnt during the last two themes to sell your product. Also make use of adjectives and adverbs, this should be easy since you are selling your product! Aside from this, incorporate structures with must, should and don’t have to, and use some quantifiers.
- Your video has to last a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 7 minutes.
You can use today’s class to think of a product, make a script and maybe even start rehearsing for your video. Remember that time is of the essence, and in order to avoid a lot of homework, use your time wisely!
Class three: Masterpiece
Task (presentation)
- Today you are going to show your commercials to the group. You will be marked for this presentation. Make sure that your presentation has got a clear introduction and ending. Both your presentation and your script have to be in English of course.
Final product
Your group has to hand in the following:
Good luck and have fun!
