Didymo Ad

 For reading we have been learning about biosecurity.
Have you ever been asked to put food in a bin after/before a flight?
Thats because of biosecurity. 
Food can contain bugs that we dont want to introduce to our country.
Didymo (also known as rock snot) is a slimy substance that spreads in large mats all over bodies of water.
Just one droplet of didymo can affect lots of waterways.
Our task was to create an ad that would encourage people to wash and check their gear after leaving the forest/country.
I used wevideo for my ad.
I found it easy to use wevideo because I am familiar with it.
I found it tricky to make it attract attention.

Marketing to Kids

 WALT: Identify the main idea.

Did you know ads and commercials are directed to 11/12 year olds?

Our task was to find ads and show how it makes you want to buy the product (it also gave me an excuse to watch tv!)

I found it hard to think of what kind of ads to choose.

I found it easy to recreate an ad that I've seen.
