Blog 1

In these past few weeks my group and I have been working on finding an organization and a product. We have been looking on different organizations such as; Guide Dogs Australia, AWL (Animal Welfare League), Deaf Children Australia, Tywain Panda Breeding Centre and World Wild Life Fund (WWF).
Skye and I have been looking at these organizations finding out what product we should do and how it makes audience interested in our result. Skye had been working great; we’ve been working well together as a group and contributing ideas. She has told me lots of information about these different organizations.
We have degusted about making a book for the Deaf Children Australia, but Ms King said, ‘How does this make me interested in your product? And why does it make me get involved in buying this book?’ Skye and I really thought about this question. We asked ourselves on how this book could help people. We decided that we shouldn’t do it because it’ll be too hard to talk about.

A few days ago we were looking through an organizations that we stubbled on, World Wild Life Fund (WWF). That day was a really confusing day because we had a new member, Caitlyn. We hadn’t gone really far with our assignment because we were still tossing around with what organisation we should do. When we were looking through the website (WWF), I looked at a picture that caught my eye, A Message in a Bottle. Skye asked Klara and Cara-Lee on what they thought about Message in a Bottle and they came up with the idea of Refuges. After that Skye went on the program ‘Inspiration’ to brainstorm so ideas on Message in a Bottle. We came up with lots of good information about what Message in a Bottle really means too us (as you can see on Image 1).
Making this brainstorm was good, except that Skye and I did most of the brainstorming because we thought outside of the box and Caitlyn thought inside. What I mean is that she only thought about what a ‘Message in a Bottle’ such as; treasure, map and things like that, which isn’t really realistic. Therefore Caitlyn didn’t contribute in the brainstorming. I do understand that this is her first lesson but she could see where Skye and I were going so she could think of something like us.

  1. Emily, you have described your decision making process well and suggested that effective communication has been used between some of the group members. Throughout your blog you have identified the tasks you felt were successful. It may have been beneficial to offer suggestions for improvement where you feel areas of weakness may be. Be sure to proofread for spelling and sentence structure errors - degusted should be discussed, other frequent errors are evident through poor sentence structure.
