Action
Action: In addition to your persuasive essay, you must perform one of the actions you recommend in your essay (with instructor approval). This action might be a letter to a government representative, a persuasive online video, a podcast, or work of art. Additionally, you might create fliers or pamphlets, organize a panel discussion or debate on campus, participate in a demonstration, create a social networking Web page, organize a public event, create a discussion board, or find other ways to draw attention to your chosen topic.
At your instructor’s discretion, this portion of the project may be completed by individuals or groups. For group projects, it is recommended that the group coordinate a series of actions/events that exhibit the group members’ individual talents.
After completing your action, many instructors (at their discretion) will ask you to make a 10 minute presentation to the class that summarizes your findings about your chosen social injustice, gives an overview of the social action you performed in order to promote social change, and briefly reflects on how you feel this project stimulated your growth as a writer.
