Significance of Issue to the Public:
- My proposed issue is that if so much funding has gone NCLB, Reading First and Common cores why is there a problem with reading?
- Describe the problem and why it is important to the public? The problem is 8 million adolescents are poor readers, 2/3 of high school seniors are not proficient.
- Are there any statistics involved which might be useful? Yes http://www.cmu.edu/teaching/designteach/design/instructionalstrategies/writing/poorlyprepared.html
Target Audience:
- Whom do I want to speak to? (Choose One: Classroom teachers, parents, administrators) I really want to address them all. Anyone can read it.
Message:
- What is the proposed message? Digital media in the curriculum is very important and should be addressed. What do I want the person who is watching this to understand? Funding is not going to high schools
Action Step:
- What is the call to action? Call the State and Federal legislators and complain. squeaky wheel gets the grease.What do I want the person to do? same thing What can an individual do in the home or community? Call , write letters. When I was in the PTA we had big campaigns for and against state actions. Some actually worked , especially at election time. How will the action solve the problem? It may not solve the problem, but no action will definitely NOT solve the problem.
