Students will be able to explain the interdependence between marketing and other key business functions using cause-and-effect language in structured written responses. Students will be able to explain different marketing approaches and classify businesses into mass, niche, and intermediate markets with relevant examples. Learning Intentions These should be precise indicators of intended student learning Time Guide Content/Learning Experience
Introduction (Engagement) Activity 1: Recap of strategic role Emphasis on WANTS and NEEDS → notice the opposites between WANTS and it changes to NEEDS? Marketing transforms a want into a need
Activity 2: Recap of interdependence Analogy: team sports and common goal is to score as many points against the opponent team The same applies for business - marketing can’t work alone to “proft maximise” All functions need to work together Explicit instruction: instruct students to draw diagram on powerpoint Open discussion: reinforcement and recall on a business’ primary goal which is to “maximise profit” and then linking it back to the dependence of the functions
Body (Exploration/Transformation/Presentation)
Activity 3: Introduce syllabus content on production, selling, marketing approaches Summary and plain definition of the three approaches Students complete questions in the marketing booklet on production, selling, and marketing approaches (pp. 6-7) Open discussion on answers, selecting students to check for understanding
Activity 4: Hypothetical question on approaches + guided responses worksheet (p. 3) Application of approaches to a hypothetical business scenario using open discussion and probing to justify responses (start of 2nd period) Students complete Guided Responses - Role of Marketing - Revision Worksheet on page 3 to demonstrate understanding
Activity 5: Types of markets Explain the types of markets, concepts, definitions and real world examples Students complete the marketing booklet during teacher instruction (p. 8)
Conclusion (Presentation/Reflection)
Activity 6: LiteracyWorks writing task on ‘interdependence with other key business functions’ Students complete a scaffolded LiteracyWorks writing task on syllabus point “Interdependence with Other Key Business Functions”. They are provided with Fact Sheet 1, a reference sheet containing a bank of cause-and-effect terms that students can use to guide their writing. The task supports students in first practising using these terms through guided sub-questions, then answering a question independently without prompts, applying cause-and-effect language to explain interdependence. Teacher to collect and mark to assess and gain understanding of student levels. Teacher to reference LiteracyWorks teacher e-book for suggested responses Teaching Strategies including differentiation
Visual aid: using visual diagrams to demonstrate the interdependence of marketing on other business functions - that it is “never ending”
Scaffolding for accessibility: students are introduced to definitions of key concepts using plain language, gradually being exposed to formal terminology in textbooks activity to meet learning outcomes
Cold calling: check for understanding, ensuring all students are engaged and providing formative feedback to guide teaching.
Higher-order thinking: Use stimulus-based scenario questioning to encourage students to apply knowledge to hypothetical situations, supporting higher-order thinking and engagement with the learning outcome
Scaffolding and guided note taking: the scaffolded worksheet provided by the supervising teacher breaks down what to be included in a long response question comparing the marketing approaches - from definition, differences, why customer orientation and use the hypothetical example.
Direct instruction: Introduce types of markets, presenting definitions and examples via slides, and modelling understanding before independent practice
Structured / scaffolded note-taking: Students complete guided notes by copying definitions and examples from slides, supporting understanding and providing a resource for independent practice.
Scaffolding: the task and reference sheet break the writing into smaller, manageable steps, gradually reducing support and supporting diverse learners. Class Organisation
Grouping & classroom environment
6 people per row, two people per table, 5 rows Assessment Techniques What will you assess and how will you assess student learning?
Questioning and discussion: Cold calling and open discussion used throughout the lesson to check for understanding of the strategic role of marketing and interdependence with other business functions.
Observation: Teacher monitors student participation and accuracy during guided note-taking and discussion to identify misconceptions.
Scaffolded writing task: Students complete a structured written response using cause-and-effect language to explain interdependence. This allows for assessment of both conceptual understanding and literacy development.
Exit task collection: The LiteracyWorks worksheet is collected to provide evidence of student progress and to inform future feedback and differentiation.
Next-step teaching (for progressing student learning based on assessing student learning during this lesson) Mark the writing worksheets from Activity 6 and provide formative feedback generally as a class and independently.
