Create a multimodal advocacy project for a cause or an issue that you choose or that your instructor chooses for you. If you are free to choose your own topic, here is a short list from which you may draw inspiration:

• Providing clean and safe water

• Ending gun violence

• Addressing the nutritional needs of children locally or around the world

• Anti-bullying

• Reducing your carbon footprint

• Access to healthcare

• Anti-racism

• Vaccination policies

• Social media and free speech

• Climate change

• Immigration

You may also use these brainstorming questions to narrow down your topic:

• What are you passionate about?

• Where do you notice a need in your community / the world?

• What ideas do you have for addressing the issue?

• What existing campaigns do you find compelling, and why?

• What existing projects can you build on, and how?

• What goals do you hope to achieve?

Choose a need or an issue that is important to you because you will develop a rhetorical appeal to inform and convince your audience. Although world hunger is an important issue and may not be a bad example, consider choosing problems that you encounter locally, even in your everyday life. The closer you are to the issue, the more easily you will be able to develop rhetorical appeals. As you compose your project, consider the best modes and methods to communicate your ideas. Consider how to add and combine different modalities to increase audience impact without overdoing it.
