Reflecting on My First Year

Posted on Posted in About Me, ADL, Grade 9Leave a comment

This year I learned that if you stay determined you can achieve anything. From the beginning of the year, I knew that I only wanted to get A’s and B’s and I stuck to that till the end of the year. Yes, there were days where I did not want to do homework but I did it anyways. This was my first year in highschool. The amount of homework I received in middle school compared to now, is such a different. During middle schooI is when covid was happening. Now in highschool, it has become more difficult as I feel like we are trying to catch up. I learned that you just need to focus in class and you will have close to no homework. Overall this year has been great I have meet some amazing teachers and friends. I am looking forward to grade 10!

My Favorite Website

Canva was a easy way for me to demonstrate my learning, I used it on almost all of my projects as it has so many different templates. I also like that you can customize your own template which makes it easy to get the design you are looking for. I became quick and learned all the tricks to make my presentations look great. I really enjoyed this program and look forward to continuing to use it throughout high school.

My Favorite Video

This was the most helpful video I used this semester. This is the video I followed to make my tote bag for textiles class. It has a lot of helpful tips and tricks. The creator who posted this, made a step by step video and a slow speed which made it very easy to follow. makes the bag goes in detail and at the perfect sped that is easy to follow.

My Favorite Image

I feel that this picture speaks for itself. This school year I worked very hard for my grades because it was very important to me to have high grades and be on honour roll. I can relate with this picture as I worked hard for all my marks and was determined to do what it took to achieve my goals.

My Favorite Quote

This whole year I stayed determined to get A’s and B’s. My family travels a lot so it was important that I stayed focus and still achieve success. “Where there is determination there is success”.

My Advertisement

Persuasion and Advertisement Unit Reflection

Persuasion and Advertising Unit Reflection

I learned that the brand benefits from advertising its items. For example if Bape advertises bapestas buyers are going on the website and will see something else they might like. Advertisement can make people not just to buy one specific item, buy make them buy a second or third item and that benefits the company.

The who is important because you want to make your advertisement suitable for the group of viewers that will ultimately also be the buyers or your product. I doesn’t make sense to advertise the wrong product to the wrong group of potential buyers.

You also want your buyers to feel that you know what you are talking about. It is important that the product and the quality of the product is correctly represented by the person who is being hired for the advertisement.

The advertisement should also be ethical so that viewers know that they can relate to the product and others feel the same about it.

Making an advertisement emotional gets viewers to connect on a different level and makes them think that the purchases can mean something.

I think that the bandwagon technique is a great way of advertising a product by using an emotional approach. Using the desire of people to belong to the “in group” or making them feel that they might miss out if they don’t buy the product is a very effective way of marketing.

Another good approach is to use emotional words, which makes people feel something when they read/see your advertisement.

I also like repetition as it makes the product stick in the viewers head for longer.

I learned about advertisement, that it is important to address it to the right group of viewers and also what kind of techniques can be used to make people want to buy your product and how to intrigue viewers.

Core Competency Reflection

  1. This is how I choose my images and words to impact my audience.
    I choose photos that I took when I went into the store and I didn’t just show one pair of shoes I decided to show multiple ones. This makes the viewer to look at the post for longer to see if they see anything they like. It also makes it more likely that they have a look at the website to see if they have even more than what was in the picture.
  2. What stimulated my imagination was making a slogan for this brand. When I was thinking about the right slogan I thought about an emotional strategy that uses the bandwagon technique.
  3. Example of where I communicated clearly was when I wrote that “life is too short to have bad shoes”. This message gets straight to the point and is easy for others to read.

I know it can have positive and negative consequences because social media can be good and bad. The good part is that you can connect with friends and family. Post about what you are doing for your friends to see and be a part of it. Unfortunately, there are also some bad parts to it. Social media has evolved and is getting more dangerous.

I think my experiences as a digital citizen, such as…. influenced my choice of course/hobbies/ teams because…

It influenced my choice of hobbies because I would not even know about some kind of my hobbies if I would have not been able to experience them online or have been able to inform me online about them.

By doing… online, I make a positive difference to my peers.

By doing my research online I can make a positive difference as I have unlimited options to do research and can find what I am looking for. I can educate myself in many ways and can find answers to questions my peers might have.
