I am kind of confused as to where I am headed with this advocacy assignment. I may do another TED talk (cause I just loved it so much the first time) and gather research on the importance and value of learning a second language. I definitely have a personal stake in this subject, however I question the effectiveness of this medium and how many people would actually watch it. My family probably wouldn’t even bother watching the whole thing (merpz). I could try handing out food with fun facts about how studying a second language aids students with all subjects and its effects on brain function. I like the topic of my issue brief, however, I do not know how I could advocate a synergistic approach to energy and water casually around campus. I’ll probably end up going with the TED talk, but I feel like it may be kind of a cop out. I’m not quite sure. I think doing something with the RCL textbooks/ textbook prices in general may be cool. It may also be a little bit risky, because an rcl teacher is grading the assignment, but if I could find a way to make textbook shopping a little bit cheaper/ easier for anyone it may be worth it. I’m excited to see how this ends up because I’m still really early on in the brainstorming process.

I think you may feel that a TED Talk is a cop out because we already did one. Even if a TED Talk isn’t a brand new idea, it has still been shown to be a very effective advocacy tool. And this time, you won’t be bound by all of those silly memorization rules.
