A letter to a local newspaper explaining the purpose of the protest and why
people should join.

1 Along research essay detailing the history of gun violence in America.

A short video presented on social media showing the effects of gun violence and clips of other protests around the country, using music and text as support.

Explanation:

- letter to the local newspaper would attract more of the community and you would have to get the newspaper as an outlet for your protest, not the best way to appeal to your classmates...

- social media is a great platform to appeal to young people, espesially if the young people look up to you, plus visuals have power

- nobody wants to hear why they should attend, they want to be educated on why the issue itself, not the protest, is important and worth protesting

- that may be effective but boring for most students who would prefer visuals that are snappy and right to the point.
