• Compare how price‑related advantages can become disadvantages using a summary table.
• Apply safe‑shopping practices by outlining steps for a secure online purchase.

• Computer with internet access
• Slide presentation on internet shopping
• Printed handouts of the advantages/disadvantages table
• Worksheet for case‑study analysis
• Quiz cards / exit‑ticket slips

Begin with a quick poll: “How many of you bought something online this week?” Connect this to the previous lesson on e‑commerce fundamentals. Explain that today’s success criteria are to identify the main features of internet shopping and to weigh its pros and cons.

1. Do‑Now (5’) – Students list three items they have purchased online and share one benefit they noticed.
2. Teacher presentation (10’) – Slides covering characteristics of internet shopping and the transaction flowchart.
3. Group activity (15’) – Using the handout, groups fill a two‑column table of advantages and disadvantages, then present one point each.
4. Case‑study analysis (10’) – Examine a mock online store screenshot; identify security features and potential delivery issues.
5. Whole‑class discussion (5’) – Synthesize key points and relate them to the summary table.
6. Exit ticket (5’) – Students write one advantage, one disadvantage, and one safe‑shopping tip on a slip.

Recap the main characteristics and the balanced view of internet shopping. Collect exit tickets to gauge understanding and assign homework: research a local retailer’s online store and note three security measures they use.
