Hunger Games Persuasion Project

My Advertisement

Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques

Our project is supposed to persuade people into buying our jacket. It is also supposed to keep the. buyer(s) warm and dry. The types of persuasion techniques we used were, logical and emotional. I think its those two because our ad is to sell a jacket that keeps you warm and dry. The reason I think its logical, is because there’s a reason to it, to wear it and keep yourself warm and dry as said earlier. The other persuasion technique I think we did was emotional because, you most likely don’t wanna be waling around in the pouring rain or snow without a jacket, and if you do you will be soaking wet and cold, which the jacket avoids. The types of advertisement technique I think we ended up doing was, card stacking, because we kind of made it a scam by only saying the good sides of it and no bad sides, like maybe that, some people will find it uncomfortable, we didn’t add any downsides to persuade people into buying it. We added a picture in the background because it suits what he add its about. We also made the writing colours a theme of blue and white so it would also suit the theme because personally when I think of cold and winter/rainy days I imagine the colour blue and white, and those colours also just match the theme.

Core Competencies

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to talk it through with the whole group to figure out something everyone agrees with. I also find it helpful that you ask your group questions before you do something to make sure everyone already agrees.

I appreciate feedback on my work and prefer it comes in a respectful way. If someone gives me feed back in a rude way, I most likely won’t want to fix the thing, but if its in a respectful way, it will make me want to do it how others will attract to it, or so it is correct.

Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members include, making sure everyone gets an even amount of work and making sure everyone gets something they wanna do or they’re interested in/in doing.

I respectfully advocate for my needs by asking my peers and making sure I understand what they mean before they leave to do something else, and making sure its correct before I completely finish.

Justification

I think it will work well because we made sure each thing that was made wasn’t at the same time of any activities. We all made sure everyone agreed on what to make that day.

Collaboration Reflection

We distributed the work throughout our group by having each person oversee each day. 

We used our technology by making sure each person had a device to use, we used our phones, laptops, and iPad.  

We all contributed in our own ways, lyra and ava each did one day of planning meals and checked off and made sure we had each question answered. Cassidy made up a plan on how we were going to present it and what the family would eat for a day, she also typed out some of the work. Mackenzie and Cassidy produced another meal and found a recipe for it, and Mackenzie planned two of the days and wrote out some of our work. 

We choose this way of doing it, and why these people would be cooking, and what time dinner would be each night because, it made the most sense to have it work around the busy schedule.
