Questionaire

This Questionaire will measure how well we think and how well the year 2's think we have done with our Campaign and will measure its success:

Theatre in Education

Theatre in Education is using Drama or Media to help children learn about something i.e charities and sharing.
In the campaign part of my Diploma we are using Theatre in Education to teach young year 2 children how to share and give their old good quality toys and clothes (and maybe even electrical goods if your donating to Quidenham) to charity.

We were inspired to do this because recently we had the 'Tiny Giants theatre conpany' come into school and give us a performance called 'Perfect' and we thought it would've been a good way to teach younger children.

Shoe Work

These are the pictures from when we did the work on how shoes used to be made,ive written up the factory information by hand but im putting the pictures on here.

Video Journal - How Would I Use It

I found Tuesday interesting because i learnt that i could express myself in other ways other than just writing,i could do a Video Journal. On Tuesday i learnt what an editing script was and even tried doing one myself which was quite hard because it was very fast,i also learnt that i could do different kinds of filming in my video journal other than just filming myself talking to the camera;i could use it so you dont see my face,but you see what i see.

I would use a video journal in Artefact to film all the different stages of when i'm making my shoe - for example, i could film myself  during lesson and then tell the camera what i found difficult and easy about that lesson and what i will need to do next lesson. I could use a video journal in Campaign by filming any shop visits and then talk to the camera about what i have learnt from that visit and also how our advert is coming along,i could even put a film of us doing our advert into my video journal.

What happned in todays lesson - 02/11/10

In todays lesson we made a final plan of the activities and games we would be doing with the year 2's and focused alot on how we would get them to calm down or be quiet,by using techniques suck as,putting their hands on their head and counting to ten, or when a year 10 shouts 'hip' the year 2's shout 'hop',basically to engage them and get their attention again.
         One of the games we have chosen to do is 'Find the toys' which is when the year 10's hide all of the toys in a classroom and the year 2's go in and find a toy - if they find more than one they have to give their toy to someone who hasn't found one yet, making the whole idea of sharing or 2 "donating" clear to them,because the point of the whole day is to get the to donate their old good quality toys to charity which is sharing,but we've used games such as this to get the point accross first.
        An activity we have planned is where two of the year 10's are acting out a scene where they are not sharing something,and when the year 2's see that they are not sharing they will shout 'STOP' and will tell the year 10's how to do it correctly and if they wanted,join in themselves.

Fashion Illustration

This was the Fashion Illustration i drew for Artefact,its a high heeled shoe with a gap in the middle and a zip up the front - based on on a pair of my own shoes.I used watercolours to paint it;i was thinking about painting it red but i thought if i was going to buy the shoe myself...id prefer it in a darker colour.


3.2 - Generate appropriate ideas.

Investigating a campaign - Childline

The main message behind this campaign  is to stop child abuse of any form,they use ideas such as 'full stop' which is a green smiley face representing a full stop and the end of child abuse.
         Obviosuly the target audience for this particular campaign would be children up to the age of about 17 but it also helps adults or other young children to report of any child abuse they know about
          The main methods used to appeal to the target audience (children) is big bold writing, the idea of 'put a full stop to child abuse now' using the green smiley face and making there website and t.v adverts as child friendly/appealing as possible. I remember when someone dressed as a green smiley face used to bring in rulars and rubbers into primary school and told us about the charity and what it does.
          This campaign is a very successfull campaign with lots of child abuse stopped each day.It's now national and so big that i even remember the number without needing to look for it,which is a very good thing in my eyes,if they can get children like me,that arnt even being abused,to remember something important about their charity
