Peer Assessment of Shyam's group


The concept of the campaign- Cruelty to Children MUST Stop FULL STOP- is amazing. However, this is already a campaign by the NSPCC. It could have been more effective if either had put made their own or if it had a more specific aim (for example, to make people report any abuse they see) The idea of saying stop cruelty is just too big to do in one campaign. The leaflet is good because it contains features that make a leaflet good such as a personal story. Despite this, we believe that the personal story was very simple and needed more description. Also the facts are good but there is too many therefore it isn’t well balanced out with other techniques. We thought the TV advert was very emotive because of the choice of music and also it was descriptive. To make it even better, the group could have made the advert shorter because five minutes would cost a lot to air and, honestly, would bore people. It also needed to be slightly less informative and focus on using their own pictures and videos rather than a current NSPCC advert. Overall, we think this pitch should be excellent after a few tweaks. It should contain all that we have written above and then it would be very persuasive and make people want to donate. We think that the most effective pitch was not this one. It was Jordan’s group’s one because it was extremely informative of the techniques and it was a decent advert too.

De-constructing a NSPCC leaflet

What NSPCC do:
- Help children who have been physically or mentally abused.
- Help children have a happier life.
- Send out professional people to keep children safe.

Good points of the leaflet:
- It is extremely informative.
- Tells us about what our money can do for the children.
- Contains real life stories to help us understand the situation.
- Good use of emotive language.
- Sometimes involves the reader.

Bad Points:
- It is extremely long so people couldn't just read it quickly, therefore less people will be bothered to read.
- There is a lack of pictures.
