English Lesson:

Exploring Similarities and Differences between Packaging

Today we are going to compare the packaging of similar products. We will compare the similarities and differences in content, language

features and visual elements.

Let’s have a look at the ads that we will be comparing.

Activity 1: FIRST, LET’S COMPARE THE CONTENT OF THE PACKAGING.

a) Logo (brand name)

Coke logo: ________________________________________________________________

Pepsi logo: ________________________________________________________________

Are they similar or different? ________________________________________________

b) Copy text (what is the text that catches the interest of the buyers and persuades them to

buy the product?)

Coke copy text: ________________________________________________________________

Pepsi copy text: ________________________________________________________________

Are they similar or different? ____________________________________________________

c) Image (what is the main picture of?)

Coke image: ___________________________________________________________________

Pepsi image: ___________________________________________________________________

Are they similar or different? ____________________________________________________

d) Product name (what is the name of the product being sold?)

Coke product name: _______________________________________________________________

Pepsi product name: _______________________________________________________________

Are they similar or different? _______________________________________________________

Draw up the following Venn diagram in your books. Place what is different with each product in the differences

bubbles, and what is similar, in the middle section. You will keep adding to this Venn diagram in the following

activities.

Differences:

Pepsi Differences:

Coca Cola

Similarities

Activity 2: COMPARE THE LANGUAGE FEATURES ON THE PACKAGING. Hint: Not all the features will be included in both ads. Some also might not be included at all.

a) Facts (a thing that is known or proved to be true e.g. 99% of households)

Coke facts: _______________________________________________________________________

Pepsi facts: _______________________________________________________________________

Are they similar or different? _______________________________________________________

b) Commands (telling you to do something e.g. buy it now)

Coke commands: _________________________________________________________________

Pepsi commands: _________________________________________________________________

Are they similar or different? _______________________________________________________

c) Prepositional phrases (tell us where e.g. as on, under, near, up)

Coke prepositional phrases: ________________________________________________________

Pepsi prepositional phrases: ________________________________________________________

Are they similar or different? _________________________________________________________

d) Noun groups (a group of words which normally includes the main noun and some

describing words e.g. delicious, refreshing Coca Cola)

Coke noun groups: ________________________________________________________________

Pepsi noun groups: __________________________________________________________

Are they similar or different? _______________________________________________________

e) Exaggerations (making something more noticeable than usual- larger in size or something

that couldn’t happen in real life)

Coke exaggerations: ______________________________________________________________

Pepsi exaggerations: ______________________________________________________________

Are they similar or different? ______________________________________________________

Add the similarities and difference to the Venn diagram.

Activity 3: COMPARE THE VISUAL FEATURES ON THE PACKAGING.

a) Placement: Where are the images placed on the page? (For example: around the edge, in

the middle, in a row)

Coke image placement: ___________________________________________________________

Pepsi image placement: ____________________________________________________________

Are they similar or different? _______________________________________________________

b) Colour: Colour is used in advertisements to make an object stand out more than the

other objects in the image.

Coke ad colours: _________________________________________________________________

Pepsi ad colours: _________________________________________________________________

Are they similar or different? ______________________________________________________

c) Size: Size is used in advertisements to draw attention to the product they are advertising.

Coke: __________________________________________________________________________

Pepsi: _________________________________________________________________________

Are they similar or different? _____________________________________________________

Add the similarities and difference to the Venn diagram.

Daily Writing: Complete the task below in your exercise book. You will

continue to add to this tomorrow.

Your Task today is to: 1. Using your planning from yesterday to help guide your writing-

come up with a title and start writing your introduction.

Give the reader an outline of your argument.

2. Your title should link to your main idea and give the reader a clue about what they

will read in your argument

3. Your introduction should

- State your opinion on the topic

- Include strong words to persuade the reader (Some sentence starters have been

included for you).

EXAMPLE:

Is It Safe to Ride a Bike to School? Riding your bike is a great way to stay fit and healthy. However, many people think it

is too dangerous to ride your bike to school unsupervised because of the traffic.

Many people believe if you ride to school, that it should be with an adult.

What do you think? Do you agree or disagree?

Perhaps you can think of ideas for both side of this argument.

Maths Warm-up: Place Value Mat

EXAMPLE

Expanded form: 243= 200 + 40 + 3

Base ten blocks: drawing the number using TH, H, T, O blocks. e.g. 2H 4T 3O

Word Form: 243= Two hundred and forty-three

More and Less Box= place number in the middle e.g 243- and write in the new numbers for:

-10 more = 253

-10 less = 233

-1 more = 244

-1 less = 242

Our number is 9672

You do: Complete the following activity on your whiteboards/in your exercise books.

Maths Lesson:

Using mathematical language to find locations and describe pathways

In today’s lesson we will use mathematical language to find locations and describe

pathways. First though, let’s see what you remember about scale.

1. Write the words or phrases below in your book in different colours according to the

guide below.

Legend words=Green, Compass words=Pink, Scale words=Blue, Direction/Location words=

Yellow

2. Measure the length and width of a room in metres and draw a bird’s eye view

(overhead view) using a scale of one centimetre to represent one metre. Draw the

main items of furniture in the room using the same scale.

3. Use the room plan you have created to write directions explaining a pathway to a

mystery location of your choice. You can choose the starting point. Use words

from the word wall below. When you have finished, give your directions to

someone to follow.

4. Using the ‘Classroom plan on the next page for this question. Follow the

directions and colour the pathway on the classroom plan to find the mystery

location.

Start at the southern door and walk north 8 metres. Make a quarter turn

anticlockwise and walk 7 metres. Turn to face south and walk 3 metres. Make a

quarter turn clockwise and walk 3 metres. Turn to face south and walk 3 metres.

The mystery location is:
