The Pitch Reflection
Today we presented our pitches for our assigned advertisement. Suho, Ben and I were assigned to advertise a high sugar energy drink to the UAE together. At the start when we were first told what our task was, my group and I were confused about what exactly we had to do, however by the end I believe that we did a decent job. In my opinion, our presentation went well as everyone remembered their part of the presentation. Furthermore, we used specific persuasive techniques such as celebrities, association, humor, plain folks, charisma, and analogy in order to advertise the high sugar energy drink more effectively. We also used specific pictures in our presentation in order to reinforce our statements or to add a bit of humor. This presentation has helped me understand more about ethos, pathos, logos, the different persuasive techniques, as well as appeals. Overall I liked this activity as it gave us a opportunity to practice our speaking in front of others, and because this allows us to get feedback from our teacher on what areas we could improve on.

Well done Lukas, your presentation was indeed humorous and entertaining. However, I would have liked to know more about what you gained from this presentation that could possibly enhance your FOA presentation.
ReplyDeleteHi Lukas, I wasn't here to watch your pitch but by reading this reflection I got a little more insight on what you pitched and how effective your pitch was. I was able to understand what techniques you used to persuade your target audience, however you could expand on those techniques by explaining what affect they had in your pitch. I'm glad to read that this was a good exercise to practice your presentation skills.
ReplyDeleteThis blog was quite short but you still gave quite a lot of detail. I think that it is important for you to completely understand the reason for this activity and how it can help you with future assessments. Your reflection could have been a lot more informative and detailed if you had written more but for how much you have written, it is quite a good reflection.
