Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques

Persuasion and Advertisement Unit Reflection

  • Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?
    • I think that is important to remember who benefits from an advertisement when you view it so that you can see where your money is going. For example, you may donate to a charity thinking that all of your donation go’s to helping people when it is only about 20% does. The rest would end up helping to run the charity and pay its workers. There could also be worse scams out there and you have to remember were your money goes in order to avoid them or other things.
  • Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience: logical, ethical, emotional
    • emotional is one of the best types of persuasion because you can play on people’s desires, hopes, and dreams. For example, say someone hopes for a great lawn this summer and then you go ahead and make an ad for fertilizer that promises a better lawn. This makes them think that all they need to do to make this come true is buy and use your product. That is why emotional is the best form of persuasion.
  • Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product.
    • Glittering generality is a great advertising technique. I think this because it can hide all that you don’t want buyers to see. This could be price, fat, sugar, and many more. It is also good at making it seem like one of the best things in the world. One more of my thoughts is that is best at marketing food items as there are tons of things you don’t want people to see about your product, and this is true in the case of most fast-food items. that is my opinion on glittering generalities.

Core Competency Reflection

  • One of the ways I ensured my group was clear on what we were doing was to check in constantly on the task at hand. What I mean by this is that say we were working on our picture; I would ask how it was coming or if my partner had any ideas.
  • I used to think that advertisements did not work and now I know that they do because I have seen how easy it is to hide tiny suggestions within the obvious one. I even did it in my own project by coving a “great deal” and “glittering generalities” with an air of professional business. I think that it worked fairly well. The thing is if people are trained for this through college and university, they have to be a thousand times better than me at this. So, in the end ads work and we just don’t know it.

My First Year.

My Grade 9 Year.

  • During my grade 9 year I learned so much. This year I learned many things about the French language such as how to order food, ask how someone is doing, and many grammatical rules about what works and what does not. In addition, I enjoyed the final project of an exit interview answering questions in French that my teacher asked me. I enjoyed the many opportunity’s I was presented with during the school year such as the D and D club and Rugby team. One thing that I really liked about this year was the ES program. I was not in it this year but I did apply to do so next year, and I got in! That was a quick summary about my grad 9 year.

Cell song!!!

  • This year in science we started with biology. I found it hard to memorize all the parts of a cell, but with this song I enjoyed learning about the parts of a cell. I think it is detailed in the basic functions of a cell. In the end this is most definitely a song I recommend for all people trying to learn about the cell.

Desmos

Desmos | Scientific Calculator

  • This link leads to a great online calculator recommended to me by my math teacher. I found it helpful because I could do formulas, exponents, and check my answers as fast as I could type. I think it is a good thing because I knew it was reliable and fast.

Educational Picture

  • This photo may not be what most people think when told to find an educational photo. For me I think it is a very educational photo because when I saw this I thought “I wonder what I can learn from this program?”. This is the photo that made aply to ES in the first place and will indeed change my grade 10 year by a lot.

Inspirational quote

  • I like this quote because it represents the way hard work feels. What I mean is that you work hard and people may not see anything special. hard work often ends up being overlooked, but it always pays off.
