Home > County Solutions Civic Action Plan > Step 9: Grab People’s Attention

Learning Objectives

The student will:

  • Describe the purpose of promotional materials
  • Write a compelling tag line for their cause
  • Design effective promotional materials
  • Estimate the cost of producing promotional materials

Overview

In this step, students get creative by developing “swag” to promote their cause. They learn principles of effective attention-grabbing that they apply to their own swag designs, including how to write a tagline and use visuals effectively. Students also research cost estimates for promotional materials and discuss the value of these items.
