Project: a “do not buy this” poster

A poster that closes doors, not eyes

A Sceptic project: a poster or 5 slides. A heading do not buy / do not send. Five signs (a prize, a silly price, a face+a link, a loot box, a chat-loan, crypto, a pyramid, haste — pick five). Doors: a parent, report. With no blood, with no mockery, with no “we are poor”, with no QR onto your account.

Filip a poster with a corpse and “they will rob you”. Eliška: five signs, a tomorrow sentence, doors. A teacher takes Eliška. Filip scares. Scare closes eyes. Signs open a head.

A sign, not a horror

Horror is pressure. The course teaches to know pressure, not to do it. A calm poster is Planner of class mood.

Do not write how to do a scam. Only signs and stop. With no how-to.

Names of classmates who almost clicked, no. Dignity.

A teacher’s yes before hanging. It is not viral. It is school.

Eliška wants to shorten it to “it will be fine somehow”. Filip asks what the lesson Project: a “do not buy this” poster is for, when a table can do a sum. A sum does not count respect, a PIN, a trap or an envelope. The core is: Five signs and doors. With no horror, with no QR, with no names.

Adults pay the rent. The card, the account and the PIN belong to a parent. A child’s email does not belong here. Pocket-money numbers do not belong on the network. If you break these rules in the lesson “Project: a “do not buy this” poster”, you know a word, not the course.

Eliška’s: 1 you did not draw 2 a silly price 3 a DM loan 4 haste 5 crypto no. At the bottom: a parent + report. Filip: 12 crosses, 0 doors. It does not pass.

Practice numbers, not a bank statement. Eliška has 80 Kč in the want envelope. Filip pushes a step this lesson can name. When Eliška uses the core, either it waits for a parent, or it fits the envelope. If not, anger and a hole are left — proof of pressure, not that the lesson is pointless.

Why this right now

You are in the course Money with Martin, level Sceptic. You can write numbers in a notebook or a table, but the topic is money and decisions, not Excel formulas. The account, the card and the PIN belong to a parent. A child’s email does not belong here. Do not put pocket-money numbers on the network.

This is not the Sheets with Martin course. A table may help, but the mark of success is a decision, not SUM.

You will know this lesson by one sentence: Five signs and doors. With no horror, with no QR, with no names. When you can say it to a parent or a teacher, you have the core. The rest is practice, not magic.

Family 3 tricks is a home version of a poster. First class. Then a table.

If you skip this, the next lesson in level Sceptic will stand on fog. A poster draft exists. A teacher may. The network need not. It is not a test for marks. It is a safety net, so “Project: a “do not buy this” poster” is not only a heading.

Four things you will build from the course

The course has four small projects. You do not have to do them all at once. Today you add only what this lesson can do.

Workshop: five lines

A draft on paper. A teacher before print. Do not photo onto the network with a face.

1. Pick 5 signs. One sentence each.

2. Doors at the bottom.

3. Cross out horror, names, QR, pocket-money amounts.

4. Show a parent/a teacher.

You count with calm. Viral horror is pressure. Class needs a doorkeeper, not a nightmare.

Pocket money: Pocket money does not belong on a poster as a number. Do not write someone else’s amount, a PIN, an IBAN or “how much a classmate gets” next to it. A rule and a practice number are enough — or an honest zero.

Class trip: A trip: a fake-till sign. Do not write someone else’s amount, a PIN, an IBAN or “how much a classmate gets” next to it. A rule and a practice number are enough — or an honest zero.

Game shop: A game: a loot box and a DM admin. Do not write someone else’s amount, a PIN, an IBAN or “how much a classmate gets” next to it. A rule and a practice number are enough — or an honest zero.

Stall: A stall: do not hang a trap. Hang an honest price. Do not write someone else’s amount, a PIN, an IBAN or “how much a classmate gets” next to it. A rule and a practice number are enough — or an honest zero.

What to tell a parent with no wage and no account number: “Today I went through project: a “do not buy this” poster — Five signs and doors. With no horror, with no QR, with no names.” If they have no time, a slip in the notebook is enough. Stories and class chat are not enough.

Five signs. If you cannot see this, let the next lesson wait. It is not shame. It is a hole in the chapter, not in you.

Report doors. If you cannot see this, let the next lesson wait. It is not shame. It is a hole in the chapter, not in you.

With no horror and QR. If you cannot see this, let the next lesson wait. It is not shame. It is a hole in the chapter, not in you.

Three nos here too: do not chase a ranking, do not bypass a payment lock, do not carry blame for rent. When someone hurries for a code from an SMS, those are Banker and Sceptic doors, not a workshop in a rush.

Practice: a sign, or horror?

What onto a poster?

1. You did not draw. Yes?

2. A photo of a classmate who clicked. No why?

3. QR report. No why?

4. Blood. No why?

Now you 💪

Go through three checks. By each one, tick in your head: do I see it, or not?

1. Five signs.
2. Report doors.
3. With no horror and QR.

If something is missing, go back to the steps above. It is not a test for marks. It is a safety net, so you go on with certainty, not with a mess.

What to take from this lesson

• A project = signs + doors.
• Calm > fear.
• Dignity of almost-clicks.
• School approves.
• Names in the examples (Eliška, Filip) are made up. Do not put your number, email or photo here.
• Next lesson: When you can do this, go to the next lesson in the same level.
