Reflection (Dec. 18)

In class, we have been preparing for our new FOA which we will be doing for our final. We have to create 2 PSA's (one that is 60-90 seconds and one that is 30 seconds). In my group, we will be doing ours of suicide prevention. Over the week before winter break, we had been trying to figure out what our message was going to be and how we wanted to show it. We discused what we wanted to put in and we put our ideas into a document. We wanted to educate people on suicide and show some of the signs that some people might show if they are having suicidal thoughts. We also want to show the number to a suicide prevention hotline if there are some who really need to reach out to someone. Through that, we worked on a storyboard and how we wanted to show the things we wanted to put into out PSA. We also researched a whole lot about suicide by looking for statistics and websites that may be helpful. Those helped us to get all the information we needed. We will be filming after break is over and put everything together.

Analyzing Two Different Commercials

My name is Paige and in class, we were told to find two different advertisements and analyze them. Here are the ones that I chose and what I found out about them when analyzing them. For my first advertisement, I chose an old one for a product called "I Can't Believe It’s Not Butter Spray." The commercial is set in a fantasy world of the lady in the beginning. It is colorful with bright colors and there is an attractive man waiting for her. Soon they talk about the product as if it is just too good to be true. The narrator sets it up to be in this fantasy world and then the woman becomes fascinated with this product like it is the most amazing this in the world. The man introduces it to the audience and the narrator voice comes back and talks about this product saying things like it has lower calories and is better than normal butter. It still has that romantic/fantasy type music playing in the background. Soon it ends saying that it is not a fantasy as it

IB Practice Paper 1 Reflection (Nov. 27)

Image
In class, we had done our first Practice Paper 1 that IB requires. We were given 2 different text types and had to write about them. They were both about gender stereotyping and basically showing just how bad it can really be. The first text type was a cartoon showing a mother and her newborn and a nurse. The other text type was a story about a girl who lived with gender stereotyping in her country and how common it was. I decided that I would try to write your standard 5 paragraph essay which I did. The thing is that I didn't write an outline which I wish I did. I could have gotten all of my thoughts in order if I did. I did go through the big 5 while writing this when describing both text types, but I wish I had outlined what I would have written as I repeated a lot of what was in the paragraphs. I also should have used quotes and specific examples from the texts. If I did, then I think the paper would have been better. I could tell that my thoughts were jumbled as I think I wa
