Hi All,

L/o: To be able to embed your practice of 'How to improve the presentation of your shoes'

Look at the pair of shoes that you polished last week (or the photos you took, if you have worn them). What did you do well? What do you think could be better?

Find a pair of shoes that need polishing (if you only have one pair, it doesn't matter if you polish them again as this will help them to look even better) and have a go at polishing the shoes. Think about what you suggested you could have done better and try and focus on that this week. Again, take a photo at the beginning and one at the end.

When you have finished. - how do you think you have done this week? What has improved? What could be further improved?

Have a good break,

Mr Ince

Hi All,

If you didn't get chance to finish off your presentation. Please make sure that this is completed.

Once you have completed this it is time to test out your method that you have research.

Find a pair of shoes that needs polishing and some polish and the equipment that you need, Then use your guide. Take a photo of the shoe before and after so that you can tell the difference.

Many thanks,

Mr Ince

Week beginning: 08/03/21 To be able to improve your personal presentation of your shoes.

Hi All,

Glad you're working on your personal presentation skills. Keep working on this every time you look in the mirror, you need to check how you look and to make sure that you are happy with your personal presentation, and if an employer looks at you they will be impressed too.

This week, I would like you to look at foot ware. What can we do to our shoes to improve them?

Have a research on how to improve the quality of your shoe presentation. What can you do? what techniques are there? Go and try this out - remember if you are polishing to put down paper first.

Have a great week,

Mr Ince

Week beginning : 01/03/21 L/O: To be able to identify how to improve your presentation.

Hi All,

How did working on your work clothes go? Have you managed to improve your presentation?

Have a look at the work that you did last week, practice the techniques that you found last week. Spend some time doing this, really trying to get your technique to a high standard.

Now have a look at another one of your personal presentation improvements, do the same here as you did last week. Go and research a technique that you can do to improve this aspect. Have a go at improving this.

To finish the lesson, write a paragraph on what you have managed to achieve. What have you learnt? Has it made a difference? Why/ why not? If it didn't work, is there something else you can do to really improve this aspect?

Many thanks,

Mr Ince
