Unit/ Topic: Who is your Superhero?

By: Neville Boone

For my project-based learning activity, I will have my class break up into small groups of 4 and work collaboratively on an activity called who is your Superhero?Overview

The purpose of this activity is to help students to learn how to work as a team, and enhance 21st century skills in collaboration, innovation and critical thinking skills. Overall I would like my groups to form super teams in marketing.Overview Continued..

According to the article what is collaborations? Collaboration is still a group of people working together to make one goal or one project happen, but they are working together and feeding off one another. They are making decisions together and working jointly rather than separately completing their own tasks(p. 1). Overview Continued..

I would like to have my students feed off of one another, and encourage one another, with ideas that would continue to broaden their horizons in the area of critical thinking. Objective:

I chose the Marvels Superheroes theme in-order to, align marketing with the expectation of having limitless abilities in the field of business. I also chose this activity because it is interesting.Objective Continued

What is Marketing?

Marketing isThe process of developing, promoting, pricing and distributing products in order to satisfy customers needs and wants.

Needs (necessities) vs. Wants (desires)

(Raliski, pp. 2)

A target market isThe group of consumers a business desires to have as customers. Customer vs. ConsumerA market isThe group of potential consumers.(Raliski, pp. 3)

Marketing is beneficial to consumers because it brings new and improved products to the market, as well as lowering prices.

List five products you or your family use that are new or have been improved List five products your family uses that now have lowered or reduced prices List five stores which have lowered their prices(Raliski, pp. 4)

Customer vs. ConsumerCustomer purchases the product

Consumer uses the product(Raliski, pp. 5)

Products areBoth goods and services Goods (tangible items) vs. Services (intangible deeds or tasks)(Raliski, pp. 6)
