In this project, students were asked to come up with and record a TV commercial. The lesson objective was describing machines and expressing frustration about machines. Students had to invent an electronic gadget based on current technology and talk about the advantages of their product, its uses and how it made life easier. They were encouraged to do sketches where “actors” would introduce the problems or frustrations related to technology.
The level corresponds to an adult ALTE 1 course. Our class book was Top Notch 1, by Joan Saslow and Allen Ascher, Pearson Longman, Unit 4: Coping with technology.
