Lesson Plan
Grade: Date: 17/01/2026
Subject: Business Studies
Lesson Topic: examples of ecommerce, e.g. mobile phone/internet banking, online shopping, online ticketing
Learning Objective/s:
  • Identify three main types of e‑commerce (B2C, B2B, C2C) and mobile commerce.
  • Describe how mobile banking, online shopping, and online ticketing operate.
  • Compare the advantages and disadvantages of these e‑commerce examples.
  • Explain the impact of e‑commerce on business costs and market reach.
Materials Needed:
  • Projector or interactive whiteboard
  • Slide deck covering key concepts
  • Printed worksheet with comparison table
  • Sample screenshots of a banking app, shopping site, and ticketing platform
  • Whiteboard markers
  • Exit‑ticket cards
 Introduction:
Begin with a quick poll: how many students have bought something online or used a banking app this week. Connect this to prior learning about traditional retail and finance. Explain that today they will explore real‑world e‑commerce examples and the benefits and challenges they bring. Success will be shown by accurately completing the comparison worksheet.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑now (5’) – Students list personal e‑commerce experiences on sticky notes; teacher collects for discussion.
  2. Mini‑lecture (10’) – Define e‑commerce and present B2C, B2B, C2C, and M‑commerce using slides.
  3. Case‑study exploration (15’) – In pairs, examine screenshots of mobile banking, online shopping, and ticketing; fill worksheet columns (service, users, benefits, drawbacks).
  4. Whole‑class comparison (10’) – Groups share findings; teacher highlights key advantages/disadvantages using the comparison table.
  5. Quick quiz (5’) – Individual multiple‑choice questions on types and benefits.
  6. Exit ticket (5’) – Students write one advantage and one disadvantage of any e‑commerce example discussed.
Conclusion:
Summarise that e‑commerce offers 24/7 access and wider market reach but also raises security and delivery concerns. Invite a few students to share their exit‑ticket points for reinforcement. For homework, ask learners to research a local business’s e‑commerce presence and prepare a brief report.
