Creating Your Personal Manifesto -- Activities List
Complete the following activities:
1. Review the manifestos through Wikipedia to develop an understanding
of how manifestos work.
2. Complete the activity at Manifesto.net, answering the three questions
for two chosen manifestos.
3. Choose two areas that you will focus on for your manifesto. This is a
revision from the original assignment due to the time limitations of the
quarter since the snow days impacted the calendar.
4. For each issue, complete the following:
a. Summarize the issue. What is the main points of contention within
the issue?
b. State your position. What do you believe about the
issue?
c. Support your position. Why do you believe what you do? Be sure
to reference at least two outside academic sources to support
your opinion.
5. Publish your manifesto. Create a website using Weebly.com to
publish your beliefs. You should create a series of interlinked web
pages to complete this requirement. Include:
a. Cover page that includes your name, the areas you are
including in your manifesto, linked to the appropriate pages.
This should be graphic, so include a picture, clipart, or other
image. Remember that the graphics will need citations if you
did not take the images yourself. These citations will be
included in the bibliography page.
b. A page for each of your manifesto topics. This page should be
organized with headings for each of the subtopics mentioned
in #4. Again, include graphics to add interest to the page.
c. A page for the bibliography, with references for each of the
graphics used, and each of the research support materials used.
