| ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL Being elected is one way to becoming a leader. Usually, before the election takes place there is a campgaign. In a campaign, a group of people work together to let you know what the person trying to get elected believes. Examples of some campaign activities are making posters, giving speeches, and writing pamphlets. The information you learn from the campaign should help you decide which person you want to vote for. 1. Look around your community or your state and find a women who is campaigning to become a school board member, the mayor, or a state representative, state senator or council member. What are the main issues in the campaign? Look for articles in newspapers or magazines or on television, radip or the internat to learn about some of the campaign issues. What other information can you learn from the stories in the news? What do the articles talk about the most-the campaign issues or other topics, like the candidate's looks? What do you think is important to know about a candidate? What is not important/ 2. Now try designing your own campaign announcement. First you need to pick an issue. Then create a poster or a TV or radio announcement to let others know your position. You can work by yourself or with others. |
