Prompt
Sixty-second commercial
6–12 · Any subject · Present or perform
What students see
Make a commercial for your product that would make someone want to buy it. Plan the message first: what it is, who it is for, and why they need it. Thirty to sixty seconds.
Why it works
Selling something makes students think about audience and message as well as delivery. The sixty-second limit rewards planning over rambling.
How to run it
- Add it to your Space. The Topic comes with this prompt and these settings, and you can edit both.
- Share the Topic link with your students.
- Approve posts as they come in. Until then only the person who posted and Space admins can see them.
Make it yours
Have students sell a book, a historical invention, a math strategy, or a school club.
