Thenry- Process
My group was
assigned the School District Funding topic. Initially we weren't entirely sure
what we were going to research/ present, but for the most part we had a rough idea
for what we were going to use. We soon found out that the more difficult
portion of the project would be choosing the most effective way to present our
campaign and put it into action. In my mind it made sense to draw up some
posters and maybe write about the state of public school funding in
Philadelphia. After I learned that
we had to take action and implement our campaign in a real life, I knew that my
original thoughts wouldn't be very successful. It would have required that I made copies and handed them
out/ posted them in places around the city. The word may have spread, but there would have been no
quantitative way to check the success in that portion of the campaign. It was
suggested that we should do a website, and the easiest way to do that was
through weebly, a website that many people used for NHD. With the use of a weebly, we could
separate our campaign into different categories, for various group members and
check the amount of visits the site gets.
Heather and I were responsible for the poster and artistic part of the
campaign. I decided to draw a political style cartoon that shows money being
pumped from a large vat (Government Funds) to required services. The only two things that are clearly
being fed in the picture are the school district and the correctional system.
The man standing in the picture is Tom Corbett, and he's saying, "Seems
right to me". This is in
reference to the school district budget cuts that he is proposing for
Pennsylvania. If you look at the tube connecting the school district to
government funds, you notice that it is damaged, representing a more subtle way
of saying that the school district is lacking the proper funding that it should
be receiving.
