For homework i had to research the Red Cross:
The British Recross are a charity that help with natural disasters, finding missing people, heath and safety, social care and lots more. The society was formed in 1870, and is a registered charity with over 31,000 volunteers and 2,600 staff. The British recross society is the United Kingdom's branch of the worldwide impartial organisation, the international Recross and RedCresent. In 1914, the British Recross joined forces with the Order of st. John ambulance to form the joint war committee. The Recross are a volunteer-led humanitarian organisation that helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are. The enable vulnerable people at home and overseas to prepare for, and respond to emergencies in their own communities. Also when the crisis is over, they help people recover and move on with their lives. :)
Throughout the process of planning and conducting my campaign i must regularly monitor my own progress and examine my achievements and aims.
I must constantly ask myself if i am achieving what i set out to achieve, and if not, why not - and then i should ask what i need to do to get nearer to achieving my intentions.
I must actively use my reflections to inform, shape or modify my work as i think appropriate.
When the campaign is over i should also include an investigation into the the effectiveness. This could be carried out by gathering feedback from my target audience using methods such as questionnaire's or focus groups
- Examine where i succeed and where i do not succeed
- consider areas for improvement
- Alter intentions or plans where necessary in order to achieve my aims
At the end of the process i should think about what i have learnt, and how i can put this learning to good use in my next project. :)

Me, Hollie and Holly have just given the hemstock's Jewellers a call about coming in to the shop in wymondham to research the shops history and jewellery also to take some photos for our artifact unit. We are going into the shop next tuesday for about half an hour so we can take photos and write notes down.
We are researching converse, there are lots of different styles of converses, they are very nice and lots of people have them. The shoes weren't very popular until basketball player Chuck Taylor decided they were his favourite shoes. He was impressed with the shoes design so he became there leading salesman. After making a few changes to the shoes, the shoes got it's name and Chuck Taylor's signature on the all star sign.
converses were worn by the entire athletics team in the movie Grease. When Converse was bought by Nike in 2003 and operations were moved from the United States to overseas, the design saw a few alterations. The fabric for a short time was no longer 2-ply cotton canvas but 1-ply textile and many wearers noticed different patterns of wear.Because of these complaints the shoe was once again produced with the twin layer canvas design starting sometime in the past 5 years. This change caused about a £2.7 increase in the shoe across the brand from about £21.6 to £24.4 respectively. On the converse website you can create your own converses this shows that converse has become very popular. Loads of celebs wear converses like Zac Efron, Daniel Craig, Jedward, Paris Hilton, Chris Brown and many more!
In the performance unit we will be researching different types performances like dancing, singing and acting. Then we will study a type of performance and we will plan and produce a performance and then we will perform it.
We have just watched the videos on YouTube called 'Mary Queen Of Charity Shops'. It shows you Mary Portas going into a charity shop and finding out what things they can sell and what things they have to chuck away. They are able to sell 25% of donations they get so that's 2 out 10 items they can sell. Mary changed the unorganised, filthy charity shop into an improved and cleaner charity shop which will sell more items and raise more money. :)
heyy everybody,
this is my first post :D
