Introduction to Marketing Unit 4-Value Creation

Unit Objectives: 1. Students will be able to analyze how the product packaging or brand impacts the consumer by determining how new products and services can attribute to a consumers choice. 2. Students will evaluate how competitive products and other brands impact choices that company by hypothesizing which methods work best. 3. Students will create a marketing mix plan to devise how to develop new products to enter the market and how branding and service aspects will impact the products acceptance, growth, and maturity into the market place.

Unit Goals: Have students understand the introduction of a new product in the market Students know product life cycle and BCG matrix and how the apply to marketing Students evaluate how services differ from products and what impact this makes on the consumer Students know and can apply the Gaps model Students can determine how different aspects of the product can change and how this affects the product image Students know how branding can affect a product Rationale: A marketers job is to create value for the product. This unit provides a variety of ways that will help students to gain understanding of what aspects go into creating this value for the customer.

Diversification: This unit would be set up for everyone to succeed. I do not give quizzes throughout my unit; instead I have much informal assessment. The reflections allow the teacher to see where are my students are struggling, especially my students on IEPs. Depending on their reflections and what the journal on their warm-ups and exit slips, the teacher would be able to see where or if they need more help. Also, when the unit test is given, students on IEPs would be given extra time or be allowed to take this is a separate classroom. The unit also uses many worksheets. When going over them on the Elmo, the student with a low vision problem would be given his own answer key so that he is able to see better. In addition, I would place him near the front of the class so that if there is writing on the board, he is able to see it. Lastly, the teacher should work with the gifted and talented students to create their own project throughout this lesson. By working closely together, the teacher can find a particular angle of the unit the student finds interesting and help them discover more on this area and go in depth to gain greater understanding. Assessment of the Unit: The unit test will be the largest overall assessment for the unit. This wraps up the unit and allows the teacher to see where they need to adjust their teacher for the next time they teach this unit. Warm-ups and exit slips will be the other main grading for the unit. Everyday they will be assigned a grade on how well students reflect or work on the assignments. These are very valuable to the teacher because it allows them to see where the students are at and what needs to be adjusted in the teaching. The lessons are mainly discussion based. This provides are great foundation for informally assessing the students. By reflecting continuously on what students say, their responses to questions, the teacher is able to monitor

them informally easily. Also, when students are working in pairs or groups, it is imperative that the teacher walks around and talks to the students. This allows the teacher to assess students as well and on a more individual basis. By talking to only a couple students at a time, the teacher is able to gain a better grasp at where students are at in their understanding of the lesson. Grading: The unit test will be worth 60 points towards to total for the unit. Each warm-up and exit-slip will be worth five points, over six lessons, giving a total of 60 points. Therefore, overall the unit will be worth 120 points. Resources:

Directions: Copy the definition from the board. Also, record the different examples given from classmates for each stage. Innovators-Those buyers who want to be the first on the block to have the new product or service

Early Adopters-Second subgroup that begins to use a product or service. Generally do not like to take as much risk as innovator but wait to purchase the product after careful review.

Early Majority-Crucial because the product cannot be profitable until this group buys them. Do not take as much risk as two earlier groups and therefore wait to purchase until all the kinks are out of the product.

Late Majority-The last groups of buyers to enter a new product market. When the enter, the product has reached its full market potential.

Laggards-Like to avoid change and rely on traditional products until they are no longer available.

Comments: This is the only lesson in the unit that does not give the students a graphic organizer or note guide. As the students went through the unit, they saw different ways to set up note taking. Since this is the last lesson in the unit, I want students to work towards becoming proficient in being able to take their own notes and be responsible for their learning. Since they were previously guided through the note taking, by not providing a guide for this lesson, students can discover a way that works for themselves to take notes.
