Your end goal in this class is to write up a research paper on an organization/group of your choice. You are to analyze the way(s) the organization represents itself. According to their pamphlets, mailers, websites, what's the organization's purpose? What sorts of visuals do they use? Text? Can you tell who the target audience is? After you do the research and analysis (use our course readings to help you talk about their visuals), you're to choose a non-academic audience(s) that you think they're not including. Then you'll choose 1 group that is excluded for your project's audience.

For instance, if you choose Amnesty International, most likely they're not targeting kids, 4th grade through 6th. This target audience (4-6) wouldn't be interested, the visuals and text are most likely beyond them. The target audience for your project are kids, 4th grade through 6th grade.

The project is a 10 minute presentation of your chosen organization to this excluded group. How would you present the purpose, goals, struggles, aims of Amnesty International (as A.I. defines them) to a group of 4th through 6th graders? Please use any all of the software, techniques we've used in the class.
