Instructions for the completion of the product

Oral Production

1. B-Kool is a soft drinks manufacturer, based in New Orleans, USA. The

company is going to introduce a new drink to the market soon, which will
appeal to the 8-14 year-old age group. The drink is made from a mixture of
exotic fruits. When it was tested, children used 3 words to describe it: fresh,
delicious, healthy. The drink will be sold all over the world, so there will be an
international advertising campaign.

The marketing department still has several decisions to make before they
decide on an advertising campaign. To help them, they need some agencies
to present their ideas to the department. B-Kool will probably offer a contract
to the agency which makes the best presentation and has the most creative
ideas.

2. You and your group are the representatives of one of the advertising
agencies. Record a video holding an oral presentation with your proposal of
the advertising campaign for this product. Make sure you include, describe
and explain in detail the following in your presentation:

• Name of your agency

• New name for the drink
• Logo and slogan for the drink
• Design of the packaging (image)
• Advertising media you will use (commercials, radio spots, posters, etc.)
• Ideas to promote the product
• Special promotions
 • Budget

You can add more aspects if you want and remember to be creative in your
presentation!

Specific instructions for the exercise:

• Introduce yourselves at the beginning of the meeting.

• Use the vocabulary of advertising practiced in previous exercises within
this guideline.
• Use visual aids when necessary.
• The video should be recorded on a web tool explained by your tutor, which
should generate a link.
• The meeting should take 8-10 minutes.
• Do not write any script to read during the meeting.
• You can use notes, but your participation cannot depend on them, avoid
reading as possible.
• Each person must use their camera when recording the activity all the time
during the presentation (your face must be clearly viewed).
• All the members of the group have to paste the link of the presentation in
the Word file to be sent through the Activities tab.

Written Production
1. Once you have gone through the material of activity 1, which includes
exercises related to paragraph structure, linkers, punctuation, coherence
 and unity, and the structure and characteristics of an opinion essay, write
a 4-paragraph opinion essay answering if you agree or disagree with the
following statement:

“Some of the methods used in advertising are unethical and unacceptable

in today’s society”.

Try not to exceed 70 words per paragraph and make sure you keep in
mind the examples mentioned.

2. Complete the Writing exercises assigned by your tutor on MyEnglishLab

for Unit 5 and Unit 6, which will provide you some guidance on how to
write an opinion essay. No evidence of this point should be included in
