In the findings, an increase of an extra one hour per week of physical activity produced a 0.06 improvement in total GPA, a small but positive result.

Immediately after just one session of physical activity, children can increase their attention and memory, and reduce inappropriate behavior, such as being unfocused and causing others to become distracted
Students that were involved in 20 minutes of exercise showed more brain activity than the students that didn't exercise

Children assigned to exercise showed increased bilateral prefrontal cortex activity
Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies performed in the Americas, Europe, and Australia provide clear evidence for the association of inactivity and obesity with poorer academic performance
Statewide studies have found a positive relationship between FitnessGram® (a fitness assessment and reporting program for youth) scores and performance on academic achievement tests.

When physical activity is used as a break from academic learning time, post engagement effects include better attention

Overall, a rapidly growing body of work suggests that time spent engaged in physical activity is related not only to a healthier body but also to a healthier mind
physically active and aerobically fit children consistently outperform their inactive and unfit peers academically on both a short- and a long-term basis.

Paper Topic

The topic I am proposing is if physical activity affects academic success. I decided to choose this topic because it is relatable to many college students. If doing physical activity affects academic success, then many students could benefit from this finding. Some questions include: How many hours of physical activity do you do a week? What is your GPA range? I plan on making a poll to get individuals information on the topic. I also plan on interviewing individuals.

IMRaD is a form of writing that is used during scientific and technical reports. This format talks about why and how you did the things you did to get your results. In previous classes, we have usually just looked at the results and wrote our report based on those findings. We would look up a topic and then search for points that we can back up and argue. Also, the IMRaD format uses section and tables in the writings. Previous research papers have a flowing format to it and usually contain no visuals. Whereas the IMRaD is all about displaying its findings in tables. Another aspect that is different is the methods section. When writing using IMRaD, the author talks about the steps they took to get their findings. In past writings, there have been no sections for writing methods because we just research the facts and not follow a specific method of research.

Outline



This Doritos commercial was released during the 2016 Super Bowl. The purpose of this ad was for Doritos to use humor to promote brand recognition. The goal from brand recognition is to increase their sales or to get being talking about them. The super bowl is a huge event for companies to show an ad because of the crazy amount of people that tune in. The 2016 super bowl had 115.5 million people tune in at its peak. That's a lot of people to display an ad to.  


The ad uses many different types of humor throughout the commercial.


Actors Expressions: The wife and doctor are really joyful about the ultrasound while the man almost looks like he isn't paying attention. The ultrasound is an incredible part of pregnancy and the man seems to be more focused on the Doritos. Also, the man is laughing while moving the Dorito.


Visual of Baby: The man notices the baby reaching for the Doritos and starts moving the Dorito in different directions. The baby follows the Dorito every it goes, even bouncing into the woman when the man jolts the Dorito up.


Crazy Ending: The woman has enough of the messing around so she throws the Dorito across the room. The audience can make an assumption of what is gonna happen next, based on the baby following the Dorito everywhere it went. The ad gives a hint of what is going to happen as there is a moment of silence after the woman throws the Dorito and everyone in the room looks at each other with worried expressions. The baby jumping out of the womb is ironic because giving birth is normally a long process with a lot of pushing involved, and the baby is born just by trying to get the Dorito.


Along with humor, Doritos tries to show the audience how good their product is. The fact that an unborn baby wants to get a Dorito so bad that it ultimately jumps out the womb shows the product must be great.

I believe the ad was very effective because it made a very humorous commercial to get the audience familiar with the brand. This ad was the most shared commercial in the 2016 Super Bowl, so it definitely had an impact on brand recognition.

Commercial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W5xxvCPz7g

The commercial I decided to use was a Doritos commercial. I decided to do this commercial because I enjoy the humor of the commercials Doritos make. The commercial is set at a hospital where a woman is getting an ultrasound. Her husband is eating a bag of Doritos while the ultrasound is taking place. Through the ultrasound screen, the baby is seen reaching for the Doritos. The father moves the Dorito up and down, and the baby follows the chip. At the end of the commercial, the mother takes the chip and throws it. The baby is then seen kidding out of the mother to go get the Dorito. Mostly everyone, besides children, understands what an ultrasound is so the commercial is able to be interpreted by a wide variety of people. Doritos uses humor in the commercial to make the audience laugh. Making the audience laugh helps with brand recognition. The purpose of the commercial, I believe, is just for brand recognition. The humor of the commercial allows people to remember it better because it made them laugh. In addition to recognition, Doritos is trying to show how good their chips are. They are trying to show that their chips are so good, that an unborn baby is wanting to leave the womb to get one.
