Imagine that you have been chosen to represent a public health advocacy group as they begin a campaign to get legislation related to a health issue passed in your state legislature. You have been tasked with the role of presenting a proposed policy to the legislature and advocating that the legislature vote for the policy. You have been told that you will have 10 minutes to present to the legislature.<\/p>\n
For this assignment, you will create an 8 to 10-minute presentation. Your presentation should be informative, but also persuasive, and be absolutely no longer than 10 minutes but no less than 8 minutes. Your presentation can be created using Screencast-O-Matic (Links to an external site.)<\/span>Links to an external site.<\/span><\/span><\/a>, the camera and microphone on your computer or handheld device within Canvas, or you can create slides using the voice recording functions within a presentation program (like PowerPoint). Instructions on how to use these tools are below. Professional dress, attitude, and clear communication matters for this assignment. The legislature will need to make a decision about whether or not to vote for the policy based on your presentation. Your presentation should be structured exactly as if you were \u201clive\u201d in front of the legislature advocating for them to adopt the policy you are proposing.<\/p>\n For your presentation, you will need to select a public health topic of interest to you (you are encouraged to choose one related to your academic major or intended field of work) and a public health policy related to addressing the topic. You may select an actual proposed policy or create one that you think would effectively address the topic. Your presentation should provide enough information about the topic and the proposed policy that a reasonably educated legislator should be able to make an informed decision. Be sure to consider the various questions that a legislator might have about the issue and proposed policy, such as long-term costs and benefits, potential effects on business and industry (especially those that support politicians\u2019 campaigns), and how the policy will support the health and productivity of state residents.<\/p>\n Your presentation should address each of the following points:<\/p>\n Choose from the following options to create your presentation:<\/p>\n In order to complete this assignment, you may use the native video tool in your classroom.
