Class Work
1. In addition to your short paper to save something, you will be creating either a brochure or PowerPoint.

2. Let's take a look at pamphlets. We will go over guidelines for Creating Brochures. (See Handout)
How well did the pamphlet you reviewed meet the guidelines?
3. Let's look at the guidelines for PowerPoint presentations. (See Handout) If you decide to create a PowerPoint instead of a brochure, be sure to follow the guide.

Writing the Paper
1. Like all good papers, yours will have an introduction that captures the attention of the reader.
2. In the body of the paper, you must convince the readers that a problem actually exists. In addition, you must convince the reader that the problem will have a negative impact on them.
3. After you have convinced the reader that there is a problem, you need to provide clear solutions to the problem, solutions that the reader can actually do. Answer, "What's in it for me?" for the reader. Don't forget that the solution must be time and money effective in order for others to want to join you.
4. The conclusion needs to be memorable and powerful. You are moving the readers to action!

Homework
1.Work on your draft. Bring 1 1/2 pages to class on Wednesday.
2. Decide if you will be creating a pamphlet or PowerPoint to use with your presentation. On Wednesday, we will be going over presentation techniques.
