Q Policy Advocacy Assignment You will plan, lead, and record your own live policy advocacy presentation and discussion. You may choose any kind of policy change you wish (government regulations or laws, company policies, university or school policies, etc.), but you must advocate for a change from the existing policy, have a clear plan of action, and seek to persuade someone who has the power to implement that plan. This is the final culminating assignment for the course and, hence, asks you to bring together all the skills that you have learned in the class. Criteria for success include effective use of voice, body, and movement; appropriate self-presentation; compelling credibility; successfully targeting a specific change-agent; effective emotional appeals for that audience; presenting good reasons and evidence to support policy change. Assignment Requirements: 1. Create and practice a 6 to 8-minute presentation arguing for your policy change. 2. Target that presentation toward an actual change agent for your policy. 3. Include effective self-presentation (ethos) and emotional appeals for your targeted change agent. 4. Provide reasons and evidence that would be compelling to your change agent. 5. Include verbal citations for at least four of your sources for your evidence or reasons. 6. Practice, practice, practice. PreviousNext
