Performance Assessment One: The Campaign Mailing

 

You are going to run for political office.  After researching various campaign material, your task is to construct a mailing to your constituents that contains a campaign brochure and a letter of introduction which will include pertinent background information that will appeal to your specific audience and fit your purpose.  Make sure that you consider your audience—decide if you are running for student council office, a mayoral race, or even President of the United States.  You must be sure to include a minimum of three text features and appropriate text elements.
