Learning Objective/s:
- Describe the five management functions and their inter‑relationship.

- Apply the management cycle to develop a brief action plan for a classroom project.
|
Materials Needed:
- Projector or interactive whiteboard
- Printed handout of the management functions table
- Whiteboard markers and flip chart
- Sticky notes for group activity
- Sample business case worksheet
|
Introduction:
Begin with a quick poll: “What does a manager do every day?” Connect responses to the five core functions, highlighting that they form a continuous cycle. Explain that today’s success criteria are to name each function, describe its purpose, and apply the cycle to a real‑world example.
|
Lesson Structure:
- Do‑Now (5'): Students list recent personal tasks and categorize them under the five management functions.
- Mini‑lecture (10'): Teacher presents each function with slides and the summary table.
- Guided practice (15'): Pairs analyse a case study and complete a worksheet matching activities to functions.
- Group activity (10'): Teams create a visual management‑functions cycle on poster paper using sticky notes.
- Check for understanding (5'): Quick Kahoot quiz or exit‑ticket questions to confirm comprehension.
|
Conclusion:
Recap the five functions and their continuous inter‑linkage. Students finish an exit ticket by writing one personal example of each function. For homework, observe a manager in a real or media context and note how the five functions are demonstrated.
