Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques

In my advertisement, we are advertising a new and fresh subscription to the people of The Capitol. Our advertisement uses ethical appeal, we included a quote from a well-known person in The Capitol. We also have included a revel of the wig quiz that implies that what your order will be curated to what you want, people will also want these because it talks about how they are “inspired by the tributes from the games. This is big because they are celebrated in The Capitol. One big technique in this advertisement is bandwagon. It implies you are not a true wiggy until you subscribe to our box. This is the first thing your eyes are drawn to because it’s big and bright. We also use card stacking at the bottom. Giving numbers telling people that the wig has more volume for example. Something else is a special offer. Talking about how it’s “just” thirty-nine dollars a month. Testimonial/Famous people say, is when we gave the Effie Trinket quote.

Core Competency Refelction

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include talking in a clear and encouraging way. Generating ideas and thinking about how I may be wrong helped me grow in especially looking for looking about flaws in my own ideas. One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to ask questions and make sure everyone is on the same page. An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when we were designing the poster. Some of the ways I work to build and maintain relationships are being calm and collecting when there is a disagreement or conflict.

Meal Planning Assignment

Problem

A family is wanting to come up with a weekly meal plan, that will have everyone cooking throughout the week and it works with everyone’s weekly activities. They want to make a plan that involves when dinner will be, what will be cooked, how much to make and who is cooking. 

Solution

Justification

Monday: I choose this recipe because its different yet is capable of meeting everyone’s tastes buds. The overall cook time is one hour, so I decided to choose Teen 1 and 2 to cook. They both get home first and will start cooking it around 4:30 when Parent A gets home. When Parent B gets home dinner will be on the table and ready to go, so they can get to their fitness class on time for 7pm. Also, they will have enough left over for both teens to have one serving for lunch tomorrow. 

Tuesday: I picked this recipe because it works with everybody’s schedule. It’s a recipe that is cooked in 20 minutes. Which means when Parent B gets home at 5:30 they can cook it 10 minutes after they get home with the normal portion size, and it’ll be done by 6:00. Then Parent A can eat it right when they get home, and teen 2 can get to soccer practice by 6:30. 

Wednesday and Thursday: I chose this recipe because there can be leftovers, and it’s is a larger meal. Everyone can eat as a family. On Thursday as the left overs day,  if someone in the family is hungry once they get home they can eat right away since the dish will be pre made for the night before. They would just need to heat it up.  

Friday:  I chose this recipe because, Friday is a day that the dinner can take longer, and this recipe does. Also, parent A and Parent B will get two portions.

Collaboration Reflection

How we shared ideas and information: We had many conversations about what needed to be done, new ideas, and information about what we have done, while working in class. We also had a shared word document to type and put all our work in one places thats accessible to all. Lastly we started an email thread in outlook just in case we needed to commuinicate outside of the classroom.

How we used Technology: The technology was used by all the group members. We used technology to see the word document. We all did one food dish, got the ingredients and recipes from the examples. We added why each of us chose that meal, who cooks the meals and when each meal is eaten in the day. We had a email thread to use in case we needed to connect outside of school, if anyone needed help.  

How tasks were distributed: First, we gave everyone a day, they needed to choose what meal who, was cooking and justify their reasoning, since there was one too many days per people in our group, we took the idea from the day 1 questions of using the use of leftovers for Thursday, and just assigned Thursday to whoever was doing Wednesday. Next, we separated all the additional tasks. Alyssia took on our table/chart, Triniti wrote the problem in her own words (with our opinions and thoughts), Sahana wrote about how technology was used in our project, and I am writing how we distributed tasks. Overall, the whole group was very understanding, and everyone was willing take something on and have an organized and collaborative discussion. 

Tasks I Completed: I was assigned to everything on Monday(including the justification), I also found the new recipe. Alongside I needed to write about how the tasks were distributed.
 

About Lochlan,

My Bio

Hi my Lochlan (he/him), I’m in grade 9 and 14 years old. I live at home with my mom, dad, and younger brother. I swim and dance competitively, I’ve been swimming for seven years and dancing for six. Three words I view myself as are, leader, understanding, and inclusive. Something I’ve sanded for is inclusivity, hence why I’ve put my pro-nouns up top. Society and school feels very exclusive to me so I try my best to be understanding to new things. My biggest weakness is probably my confidence. I have a really hard time being proud of things I like and how I act. my interests follow as, music, parties, and traveling. Ways I enjoy showing my learning is through digital posters, I use my iPad to make digital posters full of images and text that relate to the content I am learning.

My Favourite Website

https://www.youtube.com

I use this website almost every day. YouTube is a go to for me, it can be used to learn something new, help with school, or if your just looking for laugh.

My Video

This video has so much inspiration for me. Even though I don’t play violin, it one hundred percent is my favourite instrument. Since I was little I’ve been amazed by the sound of strings, especially quartets. I know that playing the violin is not close in my future, But hopefully when Im older and have nothing better to do, I will also play this song.

My Inspiration

This is my favourite music artist Ariana Grande. I have been a fan since her second album came out in 2015 “My Everything”. My favourite songs by her are, “motive”, “break up with your girlfriend, im bored”, and “God is a woman”. I choose this photo specifically because of what was happening. This was during her Sweetner World Tour, while she was performing “thank u next” the whole number was dedicated to pride and being you. (hence the pride flag) It brings me joy seeing my biggest idol showing something so important and using her HUGE platform to spread such an important topic.

My Favourite Quote

“Always be good to people, because being good to people leaves a great legacy behind.”
