Blog Assignment 5 - Group Projects

I attended the class "pass out" out in front of Lawson. Following that I watched Group D's mock tailgate.

Both were definitely effective. The mock pass out was probably more effective because of the number of people involved. However, Group D also did an effective presentation when considering their smaller numbers involved.

I think the mock pass out could have been better if their was a bull horn involved to gather more peoples attention. I feel as if Group D's could have been better if they were more concentrated on putting their message of being responsible out there. I feel that they concentrated more on the mock party scene than anything else.

I do feel that these type of activities will create more awareness about the dangers of binge drinking. All week, whether looking for it or not, I saw RAW posters and they all caught my eye and made me want to learn more. I feel that overall this campaign was a great success and that it should be a annual event.
