This advert has a clear message - stop endangering the planet or you will grow a fish head. Okay, whilst we know this wont actually happen, it makes a strong point. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is saying that we, as human beings need to do something to stop the rapidly changing climate before starts affecting us directly. They have cleverly used Goldenberg, Mazursky and Solomon’s (1999) inverted consequences version of the consequences template to emphasise their message. This version of the template aims to warn the reader of the consequences of failing to heed the message promoted by the ad, which in the case of this advert is that we will apparently turn into fish-headed mutants if we don’t do our bit to conserve the environment. As WWF is one of the leading organizations in wildlife conservation, it has a certain credibility that we, as the reader, feel we can rely on. When a message comes from a credible source, we are more likely to have a favourable attitude towards their messages than a source with low credibility (Tormala, Briñol & Petty, 2006). Therefore, we are more likely to believe a climate change message from WWF than from, lets say… an unknown homeless man preaching from a speaker on your local high street. As for the actual image of a man with a fish for a head, it’s something that you could see making an appearance in horror film. If all our heads turned into fish heads tomorrow, I doubt many of us would be happy about it. What WWF is trying to do here, with this impressionable picture, is make a fear appeal. A fear appeal involves associating a desired action with the avoidance of a negative outcome (Pratkanis, 2007). Pratkanis (2007) explains that fear creates a state of arousal that we as humans want to avoid and so in order for a fear appeal to be effective, it must offer a solution to remove this state of fear. In the case of this advert, the fearful message is that our actions upon the environment will have detrimental effects on our lives; so WWF provide the solution to remove this fear – do something to help the environment. So if you don’t want a fish for a head, take WWF’s advice - do the recycling. By Daniela Mackie References: Goldenberg, J., Mazursky, D., Solomon, S. (1999). The fundamental templates of quality ads.

Unless they are raised with a disabled family member in the house, many children have a difficult time understanding what it means to be disabled. Disability awareness exercises increase children's understanding of disabilities and foster sensitivity toward others, especially those who are the most easily targeted ...
As the year goes on, I am becoming more aware of the importance of Phonological Awareness and Concepts of Print to the Prep child.

Ming Thing is a monstrose form of Cereus forbesii (aka C. validus), meaning that it exhibits naturally occurring mutant growth, in the form of sculptural club-like shapes. Woolly areoles and short black spines appear on top of these myriad bizarro stems, which kind of resemble rounded, clenched fists. Ming thing is excellent for windowsill or dish garden culture. While people tend to think of cacti as sun lovers, this mutant variety is thrilled to bask in shade or filtered light. Prefers warmer temperatures during cold winter months. ~Shipped bare root ______PLEASE BE AWARE OF YOUR WEATHER BEFORE ORDERING___*Not responsible for lost or damaged packages due to shipping companies handling.We will send you info to file a claim.

SuperMutant Magic Academy is weird. It's not just weird, it's often times so completely bonkers, but definitely in the best way possible. And despite (or perhaps because of) that absurdity, it's also completely relatable.
