Black Friday Attention Task. I used within my teaching of the OCR Psychology A level course but can easily be used in other courses when teaching attention. I personally used this on Black Friday before introducing the key theme of attention (Moray’s core study).
Task gets students discussing what grabs attention before being given the role of a marketing executive who has to design either an email or social media advert to promote a Black Friday discount. At the end I got them to present to the class and describe the rationale behind the features of their email/advert.
My students thoroughly enjoyed this task and was a great way to discuss psychological careers.
