Term 2 Week 1

This week we have been learning about making advertisements. We were in groups of 2-4, I was in a pair.

Our advertisements were about letting your children stay up and sleep in. We made stick figures with lines from Google Slides and shapes for the faces and objects. It was very fun to make them and to put little speech bubbles in with them.

We learnt about 6 techniques to making a good add. First was slogan, something catchy that stays in your head. The second one was Repetition, saying the same thing over and over to stick it into your brain. The third one was Emotional Appeal, making someone feel happy or sad for someone. The forth one was bandwagon, making someone will left out so they will want to do it. The fifth one was Testimonial, a preview from a happy customer. The last one was Expert Opinion, getting an expert to say a fact so people will believe it.

We used slogan, ours was 'Get 'em Happy!' and we used Emotional Appeal by making the children happy, sad and angry at different times. We kind of did bandwagon too, to make people sad that they can't have quiet and happiness unless they try it.

We were the first to finish all 3 steps, make advertisement, put on blog and write a reflection. We had lots of fun with this activity and our next step would be making more advertisements but with animation.
