Project Based Learning- Campaign poster project
The Task- Create two campaign posters ( One for a candidate and one for a specific issue.)
Campaign Poster Project
Create two 8.5 x 11 inch portrait documents in Adobe Design with .5 inches on all sides.
Save the file to your folder and name it “Campaign Poster.” Choose one candidate and one topic for your subjects for your posters, either a political referendum or a candidate running for public office. (You should use the internet to view campaign posters of Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, President Obama, propositions.) Include the following in your poster:
A large boldface headline, centered across the top of the page (ex: “Elect Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton for President”)
A graphic image of the candidate or something relating to the candidate or referendum being promoted must be the focal point of the poster.
A slogan to capture the essence of your campaign poster’s message is required.
A brief summary describing the candidate or political cause must be written in a complete sentence.
Information that provides highlights about the candidate, the political cause or issue is needed.
A call to action message that encourages readers to act on the message being delivered in the poster must be visible. You should enhance the look of your poster with more graphics and text where you see fits.
Format the size, style and placement of text and other elements on the document so that it looks professional.
Print, write you name on the back.
You should use the internet to research different issues for the second poster.
Campaign Poster Project 2- A specific issue
For your second poster on a proposition or issue, go to the website www.procon.org
Select an issue and create a poster for or against one of the issues listed on www.procon.org
The website, www.procon.org, is a helpful site that provides information about the pros and cons for different issues.
Evaluate the strongest arguments. (Hint see the stars after each argument)
You should write one paragraph explaining why you selected your topic.
You are not allowed to do a poster on the legalization of recreation marijuana!
Proposition 64 in California supported the legalization of marijuana.
Proposition 8 in California supported traditional marriage between a man and a women.
