Hello!
I’m back to post again! This time we had the spring exhibition, and the project surrounding it! It was an amazing exhibition. Our class was much more organized than we had been last time. We didn’t get a lot of days to plan, but we managed it! Our plan at the beginning was to rely heavily on the all providing dollar store. In the end we executed our plan and it actually worked.
All of grade 8 was stationed in the gym. Each of our Oregon groups were given a table. Our group, Kam Meng was stationed in a good spot. We arranged our table and put out the materials. Then we set out our food and drink. We used 7up and called it bamboo extract, we also put out fortune cookies, and cookies decorated with icing.
Here is our draft of what we wanted it to look like:
We basically executed the draft exactly!
The whole project that we featured in this exhibition was the reason we went to Oregon! But first let’s go back to before we went to Oregon. We started off our whole project for the exhibition by defining media: a way to communicate, mostly through technological means, regarded collectively. Evolving from that we defined other things to do with media for example the consumer: They are a big group of people who could be part of the target audience, or not, who have purchased a product. They consume products, in our case, products from companies.
Then we continued with the knowledge of what media is, to learn about the different types of it, specifically advertisements. We did many smaller activities to extend our knowledge about advertising.
Now that we knew all about advertising, we were introduced to our project. First we were assigned a group of about 7 people, my group was Mika Aidan Esther Izzy Matteo and Seb! Then we were assigned a business in Oregon, and ours was Kam Meng, an American style Chinese restaurant. We planned for the interview, and then we executed it in Oregon to one of the workers. Then we gathered that info from the interview to execute our own ad for our business. We used the info to brainstorm, and then made numerous drafts. In the end we made a final draft! I am so proud of my final draft.
Here it is:
One more thing before I go, we made a journal, called a launch journal going through the steps of what we did for the project.
The spring exhibition went so well!
Thanks for reading my blog post!!
