More than Solutions: Empowering Students to Think Strategically and Tactically
Del Gandio, Jason
Communication Teacher, v31 n2 p63-69 2017
Courses: Communication Activism; Public Advocacy; Social Movements; Public Speaking; Persuasion; Argumentation; Public Sphere. Objectives: This semester-long activity helps students implement a solutions--strategies--tactics framework into their advocacy work. More specifically, students learn to (1) designate, research, and assess the causes of significant social/political problems; (2) design long-term strategies and chronologically arrange step-by-step tactics to address those problems; (3) devise different kinds of messages for purposes of influencing public opinion/behavior, mobilizing collective action, organizing communities into political constituencies, and swaying decision makers; and (4) develop skills and competencies for becoming agents--rather than observers--of social change.
