Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?
I think it’s important to know who the money is going to is, so you know what your money is being used for.
Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience
What persuades me on an ad is emotional more than any other kind of ad tactic. I think why it persuades me more is because it attaches me to a product whether it makes me sad or happy.
Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product.
Special offer is definitely one of the more effective advertising techniques, I think that its effective because it gives people the feeling that they are making money on things regardless of if they need it or not.
Core Competency Reflection
Creative Thinking – I used creative thinking to make the ad because I had to create something new. I used it to think of things to say and thins to put on it.
Critical and Reflective Thinking – I used critical thinking by putting a green background on the back because I had a red Gatorade and there opposite colours. i also used an orange arrow to symbolize more that its gatorade.
This year I enjoyed learning new things in Social Studies, Science, and Spanish. In Social Studies I liked learning about the First Nation fur trade I learnt about how the Europeans were unfair in trading to the First Nation people. In Science this year I liked doing labs where we would do experiments in the science lab, we’ve done a lab where we check if things were conductive by putting it in water and seeing if it lights up a light bulb. In Spanish I’ve learnt different words, phrases, countries and descriptive words.

Question 1) An Explanation of why internet safety and being positive is important.
Internet safety is very important especially now with all the different types of devices to access the internet like phones, computers, tablets ETC. People can find so many things about you including finding where you live, your credit card information and many other things. It is important to be positive because the rate of depression is going up especially during the pandemic. With the web I think people are getting more depressed because human connection is on a low, due to people texting and calling. Although calling and texting is helping because people have online friends and people they know in other places.
Question 2) Examples of unsafe and negative activities.
There are many ways to be unsafe and doing negative activities online, one of the ways is putting your school, city/province in the bio of your social media’s. More ways are using the same passwords for multiple accounts or something simple like “PASSWORD”. Agreeing to things without reading them like term and conditions, or buying things online with out checking if it’s authentic. My last way is engaging in cyberbullying or putting hateful comments on post.
Question 3) A description of the steps everyone can take to be positive and stay safe.
Seeing if the website is safe and trust worthy, by looking at the left of the website you just searched and looking if it has a lock symbol. Make sure the links you press and the things you download are safe and won’t hack your computer or give you a virus. When buying things check if the supplier is a real business and not someone stealing your money. the last thing I am going to say is don’t look at things that might degrade you and make you sad.
Personal/Social Competency Reflection
Question 2) Examples of unsafe and negative activities.
This ones kind of personal because some of the things I said I don’t even follow. Things I don’t do are using good passwords my passwords are usually very basic and easy to guess, and I don’t read the terms and conditions (like most people).
