A revolutionary confectionery company had developed an amazing DietChoc. This new product actually causes adult people to lose weight when it is eaten.

As the advertising manager, you have been asked to organise the publicity campaign for the release of this wonderful DietChoc.

Many people study the history of their families by drawing up a ‘family tree’, with lots of lines that show the connections between the different generations.

Try to move into the future, and predict the way your family tree will look in one hundred years from now.

Draw at least five of the photos that you are likely to find in your family photo album in ten years from now. Consider issues such as:

  • the way that everyone will look different as they grow older
  • the changing backgrounds
  • new family members and friends.

Help them out by developing some different presents that could be created with coconuts.

Re-write the story of Cinderella so that it is set in the present-day era. Your version should include the following features:

  • a reference to Valentine’s Day in some form
  • at least two examples of modern technology.
