Project- Proposition

PROJECT- OUR VOICE

In ONE WEEK over 10 million people will vote for the next President of the United States, as well as many propositions. A proposition has the power to add or take away funding for programs, or to create a change to the Constitution that makes an action illegal for everyone.

Currently, some of the propositions being proposed range from increasing rehabilitation programs for drug offenders convicted of non-violent offenses instead of being sent to prison, to a Constitutional amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman thus making same sex marriages or domestic partnerships illegal and nullified, or requiring youth to have parental notification and permission for an abortion.

Choose Two of the Propositions. You are going to create a creative argument that demonstrates your view on what you believe people should vote for the proposition. This can be done in one of the following formats:

2 poems
2 Drawings
1 4:00 minute I-movie that combines the two.

Afterwards, you will write 2 paragraphs that explains your project, the reason the proposition matters to you or your community, and the rationale for your vote.
(REMEMBER: you are not voting on whether you agree or disagree personally, but whether there should be a change in law for everyone!!)
