Synergy- How does my essay and practical link?


These are highlighted quotes from my essay that are informing my practical. My essay explores 
Fearn's (2013) theory that the use of shock tactics is too upsetting for the audience and if we need to produce less harsh means of persuasion. The words 'actively engage' is something I'm picked out particularly as my practical response will really engage with children and families. The market can actively get involved with the facts and tips I am giving them to help wildlife habitat in their garden. By practising engaging and practical components to my work, I feel I'm still 'persuading' my audience to get involved, as children will need a fun, active part to persuade them in to wanting the pack. Also, so many children spend more time inside on electron games rather than playing outside. Parents will see this pack and be 'persuaded' through not only wanting to help animals but to get their children outside, doing something active and practical.

My main inspiration for my practical response is taken from my research in to the RSPB, poetically their 'giving nature a home' guide. Rather than using shock tactics and graphic imagery to make viewers feel bad, they're showing what you can do at home to help and what your help can achieve. Society likes to feel like they're in control and like to feel what they're doing is making a change. For me personally, I don't feel like donating £1 a month will change much and I believe other people do to. The information and tips in my pack will show my audience just small things the can do to so they don't feel helpless. 

My practical response will illustration key animal 'habitats'-exactly what my essay talks about. It'll show how you can improve on those habitats and what you can do to encourage wildlife to come and live in your garden.
