Project Details:

• Part One: Bring to Life (INFORMATIONAL)
  

1. Pick Groups
2. Choose a Type of Slave Labor or Product (remember skits)
3. Create a Physical Representation (must be able to stand on its own)
• The physical representation will contain all information and valuable facts about the topic you choose.
• For this aspect of the project it is important to be creative (use imagery and symbolism)
4. Research

• Part Two: Presentation (Personal)
• Website (Ex: MySpace or Blogspot)
• Powerpoint
• Newspaper (not recommended)
• Video (must be excellent)
• This part of the presentation is meant to allow you to express your opinions. The story of the presentation may be fiction or nonfiction.
  
• The goal is to illicit emotion, create a PERSONAL touch, and construct a first hand account.

• Part Three: Advocacy Group (Getting Your Message Out)
• Research an individual or group who has created an advocacy group or non-profit organization to deal with the topic you chose in regards to slave labor.
• This person or group will serve as the model or inspiration for the advocacy group you create.
• They should also be given the proper credit.
• Parts of the Advocacy Group:
1. Message
2. Motto
3. Pamphlet, Brochure, Magazine etc. (hint: Microsoft Publisher)
   
4. Action Plan

• Research Logs will be turned in AFTER the project is done. Thus, you should not worry about the research log to the extent that it takes away from the effort you put into the project. However, it is important that you jot down any relevent websites you went to during the course of your research. That way you can simply put it into your logs after the project is over.
