Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques
Our project was creating a advertisement for a Nike Air force shoe. This advertisement draws attention to this specific shoe and causes more people to buy this product. This advertisement also causes Nike company’s to make more money from all the shoe lovers buying this shoe. The persuasion techniques used in this advertisement are ethical and logical. We used the ethical technique by telling the audience that if they want to have nice shoes and be like other people they should buy and wear it too. The logical technique part of this advertisement is showing the things that were used to make this shoe and stating facts that create a better look for this shoe.
Core Competency Reflection
I take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share – I took on my roles and responsibilities by doing my share in the work we were given. Our presentation was worked on by both of us and we did pretty equal parts related to our strengths. Her strengths were more about the presenting and mine were more about the power point and writing the scripts. We showed our strengths and made the presentation work.
I can recognise my emotions and use strategies to manage them – I recognised my emotions by practising my script at home based on my confidence in presenting. I also stated to my partner in this project about my thoughts on presenting and we found a way for me to be more comfortable. I think we worked pretty well together in this project and it turned out really good. I feel like I used my time wisely to recognise my emotions and support them.
I am kind to others, and support others when they need it – I was kind to others in this group project by sharing my opinion in a kind way that doesn’t effect or hurt anyone. I supported my group member by supporting her needs and helping her with anything she needed to the best of my ability. I also supported her needs by doing my part in the work so she didn’t feel like everything was on her which it shouldn’t because it was a partner project.
I can reflect on my thinking – I can reflect on my thinking by easily stating what I did well and what I would like to work on. This Edublog is a great example of my reflections and there are many more. I think something I did well was my communication with my partner to figure out problems we had to make our project work. I think something i need to improve on is my confidence in presenting and my public speaking so I wont be affected by it in the future.
I give, receive, and act on feedback to progress in my goals – I can give, receive, and act on feedback to progress in my goals very well. I can do this by listening actively when others are talking to me or giving me feedback to create a goal based off of this information. I can also receive and process feedback by writing it down in a place I will remember to check so I can act on it properly and improve my skills I am getting feedback on. I can act on my feedback and set a proper goal based on checking my notes and asking others that know me while to prove read it and add there honest opinion on what I need to work on.
Core Competency Reflection
I can identify my strengths and identify my potential--In the next unit we will be using the understanding we have about persuasion to investigate how a character manipulates others to do what they want. I will work on identifying my own strengths about persuasion so I know if I can be easily manipulated. I will make a plan for how I will assess information looking for bias and persuasion techniques.
I can analyze my own beliefs and consider views that do not fit with them–in recognizing persuasive techniques, I will compare what someone is trying to persuade me to believe and decide if their ideas fit with my views. I will also be open to changing my views if I find that what they are persuading me to believe is more in line with who I am and what I want to achieve in my life.
