Reform Recruiting Poster Guidelines
Due next class period. 1.) Create a recruiting poster for your reform movement. 2.) On the poster the following information must be included: – Who was involved? (include leaders and types of people) – you might consider putting them as the contact people – What did the reformers do to try to bring about change? (list past actions) – you might want to say things the reformers have done in the past – Why did they think a change was necessary? (list reasons why they wanted reform) – this is where you will really “sell” the idea of the reform and why it is necessary – What was the outcome of their work? (list results of their work) – this is where you many want to celebrate your reformers success so people will see you are making a difference. 3.) Remember, this is an advertisement, you are trying to encourage people to support your movement so be creative. 4.) Also remember that posters that are super wordy are boring. Make sure that you use both words and images along with a layout that flows with the information. |
