It helps to read the text as a class and then for students to complete the que...

Sell My Sports Drink - marketing task
My students loved this activity. They created magic sports drinks (we discussed this using Willy Wonka and Harry Potter as examples) and really enjoyed creating an advertising campaign for their products (some filmed TV ads, others taped themselves for radio ads, some created dialogues for talk-back shows). It is a great writing and speaking skill ...
