We needed to brainstorm, find a topic and how what we wanted to do with this cause. As my group came together and began to discuss hot topics, we thought of things that we felt strongly about or have affected us personally. After going back and forth and discussing popular issues, our final BIG IDEA was pre-teen female bullying and we called our campaign Words Hurts GTA.
Even though this project was a great deal of work in the last two weeks of the semester, we put all of our minds together, gathered all of the necessary information and created an excellent mock campaign for a start to raise awareness for pre-teen female bullying. We created a Facebook and Twitter page, our own blog, a video, a mini flyer, t-shirts for ourselves containing information about our personal experiences with bullying, a PowerPoint presentation and an excellent workshop for the female students that we would be visiting at schools, if we implemented this campaign further.

The presentation that we prepared for the class consisted of us going through our PowerPoint slides, discussing the issues that we had and what our plan was to implement and enforce change in societies around the GTA and, if our campaign was picked up and funded, how we would manage to keep our campaign going and remain effective.
Through planning and brainstorming, we came up with a lot of great and successful ideas that would help spread the word for our campaign to other societies which was through social networking and the artistic spin we put on our activities for the female students in which we plan to visit that would help them to feel more comfortable around us and feel more open around us and others and with a bit of luck eventually come to feel comfortable speaking to anyone when having a bullying problem.
I feel like our presentation was well planned out and organized. We knew who was going to say what, we had our information straight, we all felt passionately about the subject so when we talked about it we it really sounded like we were truly pitching an idea to a panel of potential buyers. Our presentation went really well, we presented it with confidence and sincerity in our voices. We had a lot of information to give to the class and I felt that they were engaged and really listening to what we had to say.
We felt really good about our presentation and the concept that we came up with. We think we did an excellent job so far with getting information out there in the world through Facebook, Twitter and word of mouth and we would actually consider taking this a step further and contacting people who would be interested in helping our cause!
