Questioning small people

1)      Did you enjoy today?

2)      Did you understand about sharing and donating?

3)      Do you think that you’ll donate more to charity?

4)      Do you understand what happens when you give to charity?

5)      Do you know where your local charity shops are?

6)      Do you know what a charity is?

The way that they will answer it is by putting their hand up when they are completely happy (smiley face), sort of happy (straight face) and don't understand at all( sad face).

The girls will answer in this table (in the white boxes we will tick what they say)

 And the boys here

Fail

We didn't actually get any donations at all for our charity so to try and get some we've set up another collection date. We think that not enough people new about it and those that did didn't want to bring any in. Now we've got new and more posters with flyer's to be read out in form and the charity monster just stuck around the school just so people know about the monster. We've also got a poster to be put up in staff room so that the teachers know about it, they're more likely to bring in toys as they don't have to worry about "looking cool"

Shocks of The Benetton Group

 



hunger



 They are a clothes company who are well known for there controversial campaigns. They do this to get publicity to there shops but most of all to get people to notice that certain things are wrong. Maybe to give to charity or just not to do certain things.  They have a massive range of campaigns, going from feed the hungry to you don't have to follow the trends.



People find these controversial because they find some of the images disgusting, they touch on matters that people find sensitive, offend people or are to rude to be shown in public. This doesn't offend some people as they aren't affected by what they're saying but some people may have lost friends to the problems the pictures show or don't believe what is on the pictures is OK for young children to see. Examples of this are the new born baby picture (picture taken within seconds of baby being born), vicar kissing a nun,  the HIV positive pictures and the anti-racism pictures.

The baby in the baby picture is covered in blood and people may find this disgusting, People say that their new born baby is the most beautiful thing they've ever seen so why is someone else's disgusting?  





People find a vicar kissing a nun offensive because vicars and nuns aren't supposed to have any sexual life as they've devoted their life to god. Isn't that like saying someone isn't allowed to love someone because of their race?

The HIV positive pictures are often on a nude persons body. People may find these of a sexual nature so therefor unfit to be shown in public and you may have lost a family member to HIV and don't like the disease to be shown like it is. There are many perfume adverts of a sexual nature so why aren't they controversial?

11/11/10

Period 1

We were finishing any uncompleted work, on computers or in scetch books,and she also showed us examples of what our blogs should look like and she gave us a list of work we have to complete. Me and Elliot finished designs for our show and decided on materials for our shoe as well.

Period 2

We completed certain bits of work, this was to research an existing campaign and research it. This helped us with our work as we could see what the professionals have done.

Period 3

The Lesson was split into 2 halves.

Half 1: First the T.V. ad groups recorded their ads and we did a quick review on them. Then the       performance groups practiced theirs (that's me!). We also practiced our workshop groups to get that running smoothly.

Half 2: We went into the computer room to prepare a questionnaire to the year 2's to see how they liked our workshop with them and wrote a couple paragraphs of Theatre In Education (T.I.E.).

Overview

Today we did quite a bit of completing unfinished work or preparing for the practical work yet to come. The only thing I'm disappointed with is that we didn't really practice our performance enough.

Workshop in Browick Primary

Theatre In Education (T.I.E)

As you probably know I'm going to Browick Primary to perform a play. This is theatre in education and we have already experienced this when the Tiny Giant Theatre Company performed a play on seat belt safety to us called Perfect. This play was aimed at 14-16 year olds and attempted to get us to where seat belts by telling a true story about a young girl who was involved in a car crash. They used comedy, hard-hitting tactics and multi-rolling in their play.

We could try and incorporate comedy in ours so the children don't feel like their being bombarded by pure information and enjoy it more. If we use multi-rolling it would have to be clear that we're different people, costumes would help this, but I don't think it is needed for ours and the hard-hitting tactics may not be appropriate to the age group of primary school children as we don't want them crying. Their play did help though as it gave us a professional play to work from when we where planning ours.

Campaign successfulness

Our campaign is gojng quite successfully, it's going to be hard to judge how well we got our message across until we've got our toys collected but everything is going well at the moment, our play is well rehearsed, posters are eye-catching and leaflets are completed. Everything else needed  has been completed to date.
