Textbook, worksheets, and “Promotion Strategy Cards” (with ad/trade - show/deal ideas for discussion).
V. Teaching Procedures
Step 1: Warm - up – Product - Promotion Ideas (5 mins)
Discuss the THINK ABOUT IT questions:
What is important for pushing a product? (E.g., “Good ads, quality, knowing customers.”)
If you had your own product to sell, how would you push it? (E.g., “Make funny ads, offer samples, go to trade shows.”)
Share: Invite 3–4 students to share. Write down keywords: product, promotion, ads, customers.
Step 2: Pre - reading – Vocabulary & Prediction (8 mins)
Vocabulary Introduction:
Teach words with marketing examples:
customer: “Study customers’ ages to create ads they like.”
similar: “Market is full of similar products—yours must stand out.”
offer: “Offer samples to let people try your product.”
excellent: “Excellent advertising boosts sales.”
stand out: “Your product must stand out from competitors.”
catch one’s eye: “Ads need to catch customers’ eye.”
Phrase Highlight: “half the battle” (creating product ≠ selling it).
Prediction:
Ask: What promotion strategies will the text mention? Ads? Trade shows? Samples?
Step 3: Reading – Strategy Extraction (12 mins)
Complete Let’s Do It! 1 (T/F):
Answers:
T (creating product is half the battle).
F (more than three ways: ads, trade shows, samples/deals).
T (customers learn by using products).
F (quality + ads = success, not just ads).
Complete Let’s Do It! 2 (Topic Sentences):
Answers:
Paragraph 3: Create an ad.
Paragraph 4: Go to trade shows and present your product.
Paragraph 5: Push your product using samples and good deals.
Text - Structure Analysis:
Sections: Intro (product ≠ sales) → Strategies (ads, trade shows, samples) → Quality + ads = success.
Step 4: Vocabulary & Phrase Practice (10 mins)
Complete Let’s Do It! 3 (Paragraph Filling):
Answers:
similar (similar products); customers (specific customers); offer (offer good service); excellent (excellent advertising); stand out (stand out).
Sentence Expansion with Marketing Vocabulary:
Practice: “To make your product stand out, study similar products, target customers, offer samples, and use excellent ads to catch their eye.”
Error - correction Practice:
Fix: “Catch someone eyes” → “Catch someone’s eye” (possessive form).

Product Name: ____________________
Function: What does it do? ____________________
