Informing Others
OVERVIEW
Now that you have learned about your topic and had some first-hand experience through your service, I want you to do something to raise awareness or inform others about your topic.
INSTRUCTIONS
You may choose to write to an elected official or another person in power, encouraging them to enact laws or change policies that impact the problem you studied. You may choose to write a letter to the editor of a newspaper or magazine, encouraging readers to care about or feel a certain way about your issue. Maybe you feel that your social problem is something your friends should know more about and a social media post or a face-to-face discussion is the best way to reach them. Or you may choose to teach a class or put up a poster somewhere to teach people. —-> YOU CAN CHOOSE (PREFER A LETTER FORMAT)
SUBMISSION
THE FORMAT OF THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL VARY DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO. IF YOU CHOOSE TO WRITE A LETTER, YOU NEED TO SUBMIT A COPY OF THE LETTER AND TELL ME WHOM YOU SENT THE LETTER TO AND WHY YOU CHOSE THEM. A LETTER SHOULD CONSIST OF NO MORE THAN TWO SHORT PARAGRAPHS—ABOUT ONE PAGE, DOUBLE-SPACED, AT THE MOST. ANY LONGER AND YOUR LETTER WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT BE READ OR PUBLISHED.
If you teach a class, have an informational meeting, or have a face-to-face discussion, write up a short explanation (about a page) telling me whom you taught and what you taught them.
If you make a poster, send me a picture of the poster and explain where you put it and who the audience is.
If you write a social media post, share a screenshot of it, along with a paragraph explaining why you chose that format and who it is that you hope it will influence.
You will be graded on the appropriateness of your submission to your audience and how well you present your ideas. Make sure that you understand your audience. A letter to a senator should be more formal than a letter to a friend. A poster for five-year-olds should look different than a poster for adults. Don’t feel like you have to inform others of everything you have learned. Pick one thing that is relevant to the audience and talk about that. It should not only identify and explain the problems but also provide potential solutions or actions that could be taken. It doesn’t have to be long. Be concise in your writing.
