Promote the Vote!

We have been watching the leadership debates and learning about the tragedy of so many young eligible voters who failed in their civic duty to vote in the last election.  And now, I have given my students an assignment to create an ad to promote the vote!  They have to select a target audience which was done after brainstorming to find out why some people choose not to vote.  I have created a media literacy rubric for this assignment and I'm excited to see the ads.  I will have to post some here as a follow up when they are done.  Promote the Vote rubric

I made a rough example for them using Tagul which is a great word cloud service which can be logged in to from Google.  Here is a link to the mock-up:  Mock-up
