You must sell the product you are given. In order to do so, you must:

Describe the object in a manner as flattering as possible

Give reasons for the people in the class to buy that product

Advertise the product and create a slogan. Act out the advert if it's possible.

Interview satisfied clients and make them explain how the product has improved/changed their lives
