Directions
- This assignment uses content from 4.2 Political Socialization, 4.3 Changes in Ideology, and 4.4 Influence of Political Events on Ideology. You need to be proficient in content from those three sections BEFORE you begin building your avatar & profile.
- You will be given a card with an age and a political leaning, it is then up to you to use content knowledge from the sections above to build your profile.
- The avatar profile you build will be used by the rest of the class to learn trends in political socialization, you should become an expert in the political & generational trends connected to the age & political leaning card you are assigned.
- Using your expert knowledge, be creative in the presentation of your avatar, if your classmates can remember the fictional character you create, then they will also remember the political socialization trends. Humor & creativity helps.
- You’ll present your avatar to the class beginning on Friday. Presentations should only be a min or two.
- You can use Canva and any avatar builder you prefer. Pixton is another (free) avatar/comic app
