Common misconception

Children may think that there is one right way to deliver a presentation of a persuasive advert.

Discuss how the target audience impacts the delivery. E.g. difference in delivering to investors (Dragon's Den style) or potential consumers

Allow children to practise delivering their presentation in pairs first to build confidence before offering opportunities to present to the whole class. You could set the presentations up like 'Dragon's Den', with some children being investors.
