In the 1970s, Shannon built the world's first juggling robot, using an Erector Set (the equivalent of a Mecanno set). The robot, which was built to look like the Vaudevillian and film comedian WC Fields, was able to juggle three balls at one time - but bounced and caught them, rather than throwing them in the air and catching them.

If you think the word is an example of onomatopoeia put a capital O next to it, if not put a capital X next to it.

Bang Hoover write plop
Scream splash scrape clang
Slap spell shout splash
Whoosh fall trickle smack
Mix drip weep swoop

Task Two
Copy this poem in your books and under line words, which are examples of onomatopoeia.
When Carly Eats Spaghetti
When Carly eats spaghetti,
She chomps and gobbles and slurps,
The spaghetti disappears with a whoosh
Sauce slapping and smacking
Round her chops.
She scrapes the toast round the plate
Crunching, grinding every mouthful.
She burps, gurgles and leaves the table!
Task Three
Look at this list of places. Can you think of things inside the places and make up a word to describe a sound that it might make.
For example:
Place – Kitchen Kettle – Fassshhh.

How Advertising Uses Psychology

If you live In Toronto or Tokyo, you need a warm coat in the winter. But you want a coat that is short, or black, or has a designer brand. The aim of advertising is to change our ideas about thing we want and need.

Many ads use peoples emotions like fear or love to persuade us that we need the product. Think of a TV commercial that shows a woman out driving in a car on a rainy day, with her two small children. Suddenly, another car turns in front of her. The mother quickly hits the brakes, and her car comes to a stop. The children are still smiling and laughing. The message is this car will keep you safe. Advertisements like this one use to fear to sell products. Other examples are slogans that tell you to “take vitamins to prevent heart disease,” or “buy insurance to protect your family.”

Commercials for soft drinks often show people having a party, playing sports, or enjoying a day at the beach. Everyone in the ad is having a good time. The message is: If you buy this Drink, you will have a good time too. Many ads like this are based on peoples desire for fun and enjoyment.

Advertising for designer products use peoples vanity to sell the product. The ad tries to create a personality for each brand. For Example, one brand of watches is for people who like adventure, with ads featuring an auto racer or a pilot wearing them. Another brand of watches is for elegant and fashionable people, and the ads show wealthy travelers on a cruise trips. The watches look almost the same only their images are different. When you buy that brand of watch, you are buying the image. This is the reason that people spend much more money for a product with a famous designer brand.

After an ad is prepared, advertisers use psychology to make it more effective. Psychologists have found that people have positive feelings about things they see more often, so the same ad is used for a long time before it is replaced with a new ad. Other studies found that people react better to an ad when it is fresh in their memory, so TV ads are repeated very often.

Knowing about psychology in advertising lets us make better decisions about the things we buy. It helps us understand the difference between the things we want and things we really need.

"The League of Shadows has been a check against human corruption for thousands of years. We sacked Rome, loaded trade ships with plague rats, burned London to the ground. Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence, we return to restore the balance."
Ra's al Ghul, Batman Begins
 
 
 
"A startling number of alternative histories wind up strengthening the marginal technology of airships and zeppelins, for example. This is a matter of flavor rather than logic, but this is a game book, after all."
