I used the core competency “I generate new ideas as pursue my interests” by suggesting creative chain reactions that matched our groups and myself overall theme which kept the group engaged and active.
During the design process, brainstorming ideas worked well. Executing those ideas didn’t until we started to do more simple designs. I solved problems by testing new idea and helping the group adjust designs together.
Our initial end-result was to somehow turn the water tap on. It did not stay that way because it was too difficult to get from the table to where the sink was in the lab.
If I did this again, I would like to change our end-result to something more exciting because that is the main point in the end of it all.
Reflection Questions- Is violence justified during a protest?
A) How did the use of AI assist you in developing this project- AI assisted me in the creation of this project by helping me develop my ideas and give me key information with the click of a button. AI was very useful because it helped me save a lot of time and research.
B) How did you ensure that the work you created was still your own, rather than just a product of the AI- I Know the work is mine because I made sure to put any information I read into my own words and also site my sources.
C) Did you agree with the position you had to argue? Why or why not?- I highly agreed with the position I had because I really feel like nonviolent protests are a more peaceful way for asking what you want. Nonviolent protests are are just a better way of protesting without anyone getting hurt.
Competency Reflection
My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include reading information carefully, searching for the correct information and making sure the information is legit by checking the sources.
One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to let them voice their own opinion and after i say my opinion. After discussing, this ensures that we are heavily clear on a certain purpose.
Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?
-It is important to remember who benefits from an advertisement because if the advertisement ever persuades you, always remember not to give in and analyze who actually benefits from the ad.
Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience: logical, ethical, emotional
-Ethical Persuasion is very effective when persuading. It uses your idols and inspirations for example to persuade you into thinking the advertisement is good and you should invest into it. If i saw someone very famous and a doctor for example advertising that a certain toothpaste brand is healthy and good for you, i will most likely give in to it and invest in the toothpaste.
Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product.
-Bandwagon is very effective in selling a product. For example if an advertisement was telling me to buy these new shoes, bandwagon will apply if they say something like “Everyone is wearing these shoes right now and so should you”, or “These shoes are being worn by every popular teenager”. Those types of phrases will catch most people and think the product makes them cool etc.
Core Competency Reflection
One of the ways I ensured my group was clear on what we were doing was to brainstorm our ideas first on a different PowerPoint then gathering all our good ideas and pasting it on a good copy.
When there was disagreement within the group, I found it helpful to let everyone share there ideas one at a time and we try to agree on one thing as a group.
I showed that I valued feedback from others in my group by asking them if a did a good job on my part of the advertisement and asking them if i should change anything.
