Reflection

          My commercial was on Pepsi from the Coca-Cola company with Cesare. I like my piece because we got to advertise a real product and get real statistics for our commercial. We also had the chance to encourage people to buy a soda, even though I do not like Pepsi. I feel I am good at showing off an item to an audience. During the commercial I made sure to try to maintain eye contact with the audience. Some areas I could improve in are putting more emotion into my commercial, and not talking like a robot, so the audience will believe it more. Persuasive essay writing techniques and strategies I'd like to try next time are using coupons to urge the audience to buy my product. When they see how great the product is, and that it is cheap there is nothing stopping them from going out and buying it. The part of the writing process I enjoyed most is coming up with claims because they helped support why my product is awesome and better than other brands of it. My goals for the next time I write are to use better supporting details to persuade the reader even more.  Some things I learned about myself through this project are that I can be very creative, can perform well in front of an audience, and be really good at persuading people to buy things.
