I show others that I value their opinions by asking my group what ideas everyone in my group has for the project. I find that this helps everyone’s ideas be added into the project in someway because we’ve all said things we wanted in the project so there is a compromise between the group that everyone else’s opinions are added.

When I need to work in a group of people I don’t know well, I try to talk to people inside the group to get to know at least some people in the group. For the most part I just stick to myself in those types of groups, I ask what my tasks are and then I try my best to complete them.

Somethings I think about before dividing tasks among the group members include asking my group how much they understand the project or subject, then deciding what they could do with the best of their understanding. I also consider how much they usually do in group projects, how much they are on task, how much they pay attention, etc.

Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques

Persuasion and Advertisement Unit Reflection

Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?

It is important to remember because customers often think that they are benefitting from an ad, but it is the company making the ad that is benefitting because they are attracting people to come buy their product.

Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience:

A form of persuasion is emotional, this is effective because it influences people to buy a product because the company uses empathy to make someone empathize the person or people in the ad making them want to buy the product in order to help them.

Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product

Name calling because it influences people to buy a product because someone or something famous has and or uses that product.

Core Competency Reflection

One of the ways I ensured my group was clear on what we were doing was to give everyone specific tasks on what they were supposed to work on, we made it fair so everyone got roughly the same amount and wasn’t confused on what they were supposed to do.

When there was disagreement within the group, I found it helpful to ask the group why they were disagreeing and then resolve the problem by asking both people to say why they were upset and then solving the problem further from each of their reasonings.

When my group was not productive, we put down our phones and tried to move away from people that could distract us in order to get things moving in the right direction.

Core Competency Reflection

I make an effort to include missing voices/perception by asking people “What do you think of this?” and also by saying “We can do ________ to decide.”

I am clear on the difference between plain “group work” and collaboration is shown by when I include people and encourage them to embrace their thinking.

In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend my understanding by frequently asking questions and using answers to help me do the projects.

“I can contribute during activities with peers and share roles and responsibilities to achieve goals.” 

I chose this “I can” statement because in this project we had to work together with our partners to find a way that we can fit ourselves into the frame equally. We also had to both decide what photo we wanted to take, like if it was indoors, outdoors, etc. Another thing we had to do was both figure out what pictures were going to be in final product as well as trying to edit the pictures together so we both got a similar but different outcome. In the end we got a picture that we were both pleased with, and we both thought that we got a picture that was like the picture we were hoping to get out of the project.

Reflection Questions

A) How did AI assist you in developing this project

The AI helped me because it helped me find reliable sources for my project since on google or search engines in general not all the websites are always reliable or true. But after using the AI it gave me websites that I know are reliable since the AI had found them with the information of the question I asked.

B) How did you ensure that the work you created was still your own, rather than just a product of the AI?

The AI helped me find the information I needed but in order to answer the questions I was given I had to write them in my own way so that I’d be answering the questions not just listing facts I saw on the website about my question.

C) Did you agree with the position you had to argue? Why or why not?

In some situations I can agree since the opposing party could be violent first which makes people have to be violent back for self defence. In most I don’t really understand how people can justify having violence in a protest or a revolution since there shouldn’t be a need for being violent. Most protests are supposed to just be people trying to get other people around them to agree or see their point of view on topic that is upsetting them. Which I don’t think gives people needs or reasons to be violent to one another.

Competency Reflection

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include making sure that the websites and sources I’m using are reliable and trustworthy, putting information I find into my own words and making sure I’m still getting the information that is needed/necessary across. When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well I start by asking them basic ice breaker questions so that I can learn a bit more about them. Then I try to start working on my project with them trying to make the group work all equal so we are doing the same amount each. While working on projects like these it helps me learn more about my peers although I feel more comfortable working with my friends.
