Advocacy Project

Posted by on Apr 4, 2013 in Work In Progress | 0 comments

I’m not yet sure what I’m going to advocate for. I don’t know that I want to go off of my persuasive essay topic which was about administering a universal health care system in the United States. I can’t think of how I would go about advocating that. Instead, I might advocate for something based on one the civic issue topics that we talk about in our blogs. I write about the role of public education so I might do something with that. Although, I might also want to advocate something I don’t really write about such as the environment. But I still have no idea what I want to do so I’m going to explore some more ideas until I find something that I want to promote.

As far as an audience goes, I want to promote something that a wide range of people can be affected by so I may choose a topic that allows me to reach out to large audience.

The mode I will be using will depend entirely on the topic I choose. Some topics may work better with different modes than other topics. Although, out of all the modes I could use for this project I think I want to write an essay. I would rather do this mostly because I’m not a strong speaker so I wouldn’t be able to give a great speech or TED talk on my topic. I’m not really sure what else I could do besides making some kind of a visual with information to promote my topic.

I’ll definitely have to look into this project a lot more and make a decision on what to advocate and how to present it.
