Blog entry #3

Welcome to my 3^rd entry of my STOP CHILD LABOR blog. Last Friday I participated in grade 10 wide display fair , where we  showed our peers in the school about our social action(s) towards our social justice issue and our problem behind the social issue. In my perspective I believe that my SAP participation help bring much awareness to my problem. During the fair people ( students , staff ) went around and saw and listened to different presentations about different social issues. The outcome of my presentation was great because my people signed my petition for the Ministry of Affairs to take action. There were general to specific questions asked such as “ what can we do that can help eliminate  or reduce the problem” “ Is the problem just big in South Sudan or is it a big problem in other countries?” ,  “ what age group is affected the most?” My answer were specific and simple for the person to understand which made it easier for me to persuade them into help me with my social action towards child labour. What really worked is  that I had less text and more pictures inn my presentation , so the audience wouldn’t be bored and less intrigued. Also my tone was enthusiastic and steady , which made it easier for people to understand. What didn’t work was how I used  prezi instead of a display board. If I used a display board it would’ve brought attention from peers because of the colourful or bold display. Also all the information would have been all in place and if they wanted to read off the board because they might of never really understood my speaking. In my presentation I effectively presented the slideshow. I toke out information that would drag it on or was not as needed or important than others. This helped me on presenting information  that was crucial for their knowledge and for my persuasion in making them join my movement. The only thing I would have change who be making a display board instead. I believe that a display board is more eye catching than laptop screen with information on it. I would keep making visual aids to be put  around the school , to bring students attention to my social justice issue because students are the most powerful weapon for my social action. Also I would have made my presentation a bit more appealing to a broader audience instead of just stating facts or too much information.
