In this video I talked to three girl scouts. It started off with two, but another girl scout that was shy joined in the conversation.
I'll also add that I received the parents permission to record the video and to ask them a few questions.
Where will yo go?
I do not have five one dollar bills on me and I need to get groceries so I figure I will conduct my experiment at Publix.What kind of people will you approach?
Customers at Publix, most likely between the ages of 20-30.What will you say to get the conversation started?
To start the conversation I will introduce myself and ask them for their names. I might ask a question or a riddle and if they get it right they get a dollar
What is your plan for the Conversation
To ask them a question or a riddle.
Out of my attempts how many dollar bills will I give away?
I'll probably give away $2.00
Reflection
My predictions were some what correct. I did ask questions and I did meet people at Publix, but I was able to give away $5.00. I did not interview adults in their 20s to 30s, I had one conversation with three girl scouts whose ages ranged from 8-11 (I believe).
Originally, I wasn't sure who I was going to approach and I was really nervous about giving random people money, mostly I was afraid of their potential response. In the beginning I didn't think I was going to interview three kids, I thought I was going to find adults in their 20-30s. When I got to Publix there were girl scouts selling cookies by the entrance, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity. Not only would the money I was giving them go to their troop but I would also be supporting young entrepreneurs. I was so happy that I got to meet these three young business women! In exchange for the money I had them answer two questions about their troop and the product they were selling. They truly enjoyed being asked questions about their cause and to see their faces light up when I gave them the $5.00 was well worth the nerves going in.
After watching and reading this I really wish I was able to do this assignment. I was out of town and unfortunately did not have time to do it. I think you did a great job of coming up with why you gave them a dollar. I also thought you did a great job of exuding confidence. Overall, great job!
ReplyDeleteHey Bridget,
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you have some pretty good communication skills and you definitely picked the right people to give the money to. Adults might be a little more uneasy to give money to on video so it was a great idea to give the money to the girl scouts.
