We discussed our goals and why we chose to focus on them. We also allocated each responsibility for each member of our party.]]> 2016-08-24 01:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119501427 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119501455 We brainstormed multiple ideas on issues and solving problems for teenage students. We decided that the issue of lack of independence was the most important and useful. To resolve this we decided on a camp for students to develop independent life skills with more freedom of choice. ]]> 2016-08-24 01:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119501455 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119501759 We thought of different ideas that would aim to target young teenagers such as more independence and freedom. We all decided on an idea that teenagers need to be more exposed with life skills rather then the main focus being about homework. ]]> 2016-08-24 01:35:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119501759 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119502174 Today we decided on our party name (student independence party) and our main issue which is to allow teenagers to be more exposed with life skills after they graduate from high school and progress into the work force. ]]> 2016-08-24 01:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119502174 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119502201 We decided to name our group the Student Independence Party. We established issues relevant such as lack of independence, lack of freedom, applied learning, learning always on a school campus, no opportunity to apply life skills. We decided on ways to take action inside the camp including choosing most subjects, students taking care of themselves and multiple campuses to learn on. ]]> 2016-08-24 01:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119502201 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119521020 A really good start girls. I like the name of your political party. It is clear and straightforward which is important when you brand yourselves in your how to vote card. The idea of students learning outside the school campus is a really good one as it is helping them to develop other skills that will be really useful in their lives. Keep in mind to be really specific about a particular program you may implement to help aid this educational project. If you are too broad it may be overwhelming for your target audience of Year 7s. Keep up the good work girls!]]> 2016-08-24 05:04:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119521020 jwalsh16 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119730800 Great to read about how your group is progressing - your bigger idea is a good one. How are you going in narrowing down your strategy?]]> 2016-08-25 01:51:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119730800 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119731865 Today we confirmed our vision as a party. We also decided on our slogan which we including when designing our slogan. We researched about our electoral issue to gather information for our video.]]> 2016-08-25 02:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119731865 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119746635 I really liked the discussion that you were having about how you are going to use particular colours and symbols in your how to vote card. This is an important part of the campaign. Good to hear you have confirmed your vision. If you are able to post this on the pad let next lesson that would be great!! Keep in mind a specific project you are wanting to implement. Is it a school camp, overseas trip or just a skills day? Well done.]]> 2016-08-25 05:00:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/119746635 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120138880 We came up with the slogan, "Think different. Think independent." We began planning our signature colours - yellow, orange and some light red - to represent a happy and easygoing party. ]]> 2016-08-27 03:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120138880 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120138933 Today we finalised our logo which used the colours we had previously discussed and displayed our slogan and party name. We split up the work and organised what has to be done before the next class. ]]> 2016-08-27 03:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120138933 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120171033 Today my group and I finished our brand logo which included our party name and slogan. We organised what was to be prepared for Monday's lesson which is filming day.

We started on our how to vote card. We also organised tasks for the weekend which we could start filming next lesson. ]]> 2016-08-29 01:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120210946 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120219343 Today our group planned the script for the video. This included interviewing students and teachers, explaining our party vision, logo and slogan. The challenges we faced today included creating an engaging script for two minutes while ensuring we won't bore the year 7s.]]> 2016-08-29 02:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120219343 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120219411 Today we put together our script for our parties video. We organised the questions we are going to ask to other students and teachers. It was challenging to decide on how to display our vision in the video.]]> 2016-08-29 02:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120219411 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120219415 2016-08-29 02:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120219415 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120219422 Today we planned our script for our video, which included interviewing students and emphasising our party vision. We were challenged with coming up with ideas/responses to the interview questions but we worked through it together as a group. We will start filming on Thursday to have enough time to edit and make sure our video is perfect. ]]> 2016-08-29 02:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120219422 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120220000 Today we planned out and scripted our video. We are almost done with the scripting and will begin scripting on our next lesson. The challenges we faced was choosing how to create the script for our video, and what areas to include in it.]]> 2016-08-29 02:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120220000 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120261243 Fantastic to see that you have all written an entry for the Padlet. I think you girls have been working really well and planning is always essential before you do anything. Interviewing the students is a great idea and will be very engaging. With the video it does not need to be perfect as long as you give it a go I am sure it will be fine. Keep up the good work girls :) I have enjoyed seeing your progress.]]> 2016-08-29 10:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120261243 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120995643 Today, we got our group photo taken which we used in our campaign poster to put faces to our name when presenting to our audience. We finished off our poster and finalised our script for our video which we will film/edit on Friday.]]> 2016-09-01 02:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120995643 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120995771 Today we took a group photo which we put on our poster and how to vote card. We then finalised our campaign poster and how to vote card and the only thing left for us to do is our video which we'll do next lesson.]]> 2016-09-01 02:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/120995771 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121018751 Today we completed our campaign poster by taking a photo of the group and finishing the eye-catching phrases and slogans to capture the year 7s attention. The how to vote card was also completed and the only thing left to complete is the video. ]]> 2016-09-01 07:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121018751 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121286377 Well done girls!! I have been really impressed with your hard work over the whole assessment. You have collaborated really well and allocated your tasks. I love your campaign poster. It is eye catching and sells your party's message to your target audience. I look forward to seeing your video on Monday :)]]> 2016-09-02 10:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121286377 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121565282 Today we finished our campaign poster by taking a photo of our group to add to our poster. We also finalised our how to vote card and the video is the only task remaining for us to complete. ]]> 2016-09-05 09:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121565282 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121565501 Today we filmed our video for our political campaign. We all have put in a lot of hard work to accomplish a great video outlining our ideology ) and emphasising on our slogan. ]]> 2016-09-05 09:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121565501 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121675504 The lead up to the campaign was rushed and our time management was not organised enough as we could have spent more time on our video. Our campaign poster and how to vote card was done very well. As a group we worked well together as we all completed the tasks we were assigned too and helped each other along the way. The challenges we faced were trying to manage our time and therefore our video was rushed in the end and did not have the chance to edit the video as a group to further enhance our campaign vision. ]]> 2016-09-06 04:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121675504 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121675619 The lead up to the campaign was rushed towards the end since we could of used our time more efficiently, however we did manage to get everything done before the due date. We found that the most effective way to get the tasks done was to assign each task to someone at the beginning so everyone knew what they were supposed to complete. Next time if I had another chance to complete this assignment again I would still assign different aspects of the campaign to people in our group, but i would make a due date for them to be done by so we could start filming much before the campaign presentation. ]]> 2016-09-06 04:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121675619 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121675701 Leading up to the campaign was stressful as we didn't manage our time very well although we managed in the end to complete everything in time. Our how to vote card and campaign poster worked well and were very effective. Filming the parts for our video was slightly challenging as we left it last minute and didn't have enough time to perfect each scene, although when editing we were able to clean it all up and execute it nicely. I liked how some parties used humour in their videos and other creative ideas. I think we would manage our time better and put more effort into the content of our video.

We didn't face many challenges as we were all here for each lesson which made it esier for all of us. The only problem that we faced was that our videos audio wasn't very clear but other than that our video was very informative. I liked how other groups added humour into their presentations. Because our video was so rushed we didn't really get to add that aspect into it so we maybe should've started filming a bit earlier on. Overall it was a very fun assignment :))]]> 2016-09-06 04:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121675960 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121678847 There may not have been any donkey or informal votes because the most popular parties weren't near each other on the vote cards and because the instructions were clearly explained with how to vote cards that had instructions and examples on them. I think our how to vote cards were effective because people knew how to vote, but at the same time ineffective because of the lack of votes for our party. I think next time we could get more votes by making a funnier and more engaging video, clearly explaining our vision and showing more of our party's ideas]]> 2016-09-06 04:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121678847 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121678915 I think that there weren't any donkey or informal votes because the how to vote card was well explained and therefore helped the year 7s vote in a formal way. Yes, I do think our how to cote card was effective as the layout was easy to understand and had clear instructions. Our group overall did well we received five votes at the end of the counting. We did well as a group and I am happy with our overall work.]]> 2016-09-06 04:57:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121678915 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121678920 I think there wasn't any Donkey or informal votes because the year 7's probably felt a little more at ease because we were all very informative on our how to vote cards. I think our how to vote card was good as it was very colourful but we should've proof read it before we printed it as we noticed a minor mistake on our paper. I think we could've improved on our video as we didn't add much humour into it which was something that appealed to the year 7's. Our groups campaign poster was very informative and was something that really stood out. I think that we could've put a bit more about our vision and aim in our video!]]> 2016-09-06 04:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121678920 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121679033 I think that there was no donkey or informal votes because the year 7's were aware of how to vote correctly with the guidance of our 'how to vote' cards - so yes our 'how to vote' cards were very effective. Our group did well in presenting efficiently and with confidence, we may needed to improve on putting more detail in a our video as well as more creative ideas.]]> 2016-09-06 04:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/121679033 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/122303163 Well done girls! I am really proud of the way you collaborated together and allocated the different tasks within the assignment. Your campaign poster was particularly impressive and illustrated your vision and campaign promises well. You have provided some mature insight about how you would improve your video  ]]> 2016-09-08 01:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/wtdgu6h2q8y7/wish/122303163
