Voicethread

• 10 slides with 2 comments per slide

We will be starting a research project in which you will choose a modern day American social issue that is of interest to you. You will make a connection between the social issue you choose and a theme from one of the longer pieces of literature we’ve read in CAIII this year.  I am providing you with a list of social issues you may want to explore.  You will be allowed to choose a social issue not on my list as long as you get my approval. 

While a segment of the presentation will focus upon essential background information, you must develop a central opinion that develops into a call for action.  This means that you will choose a side on this issue and attempt to persuade your audience to adopt your viewpoint. You will also make a suggestion to your audience as to what they can do to help promote the stance you’ve taken.
