Persuasive Techniques In Commercials

My Reflection 

I was learning how to use persuasive techniques. 
The task was that you had to make a commercial about something to make our holidays more interesting. We also had to make it appeal to our parents so they get persuaded. The persuasive techniques were:

• Slogan - a catchy catch phrase 
• Repetition- when you repeat the important bits in the commercial over and over again.
• Testimonial- when it's basically a happy customer review.
• Emotional Appeal- where the commercial makes you really emotional!
• Bandwagon- Fear of missing out
• Expert Opinion- Where there is a "expert" saying the product is good.

We used the techniques slogan and repetition. Our slogan was Wii Play Wii!

Language Features Writing-Onomatopoeia

                                       Onamatopiea
                                        By Lill Pluta

An onomatopoeia is a very special thing. It’s a word like quack or flutter, or oink or boom or zing. It sounds just like its meaning, for example snort and hum. It’s the crash and clang of cymbals, and the rat-a-tat of drums. It’s the clatter and the plip-plops, and the beeps and bonks and chirps. It’s the mumbles and the rumbles, and the rattles and the burps. It’s the hissing and the buzzing, and the giggles and the moos. And on a spooky moonlit night, it is a scary BOO!

    My Reflection

I was learing to identify how many onamatopiea's in the paragraph. I had to underline the onamatopiea's in the paragraph. I thought is was easy because I know when I see a onamatopiea.
