Unit 3 Proposal

For Unit 3, our group has decided to do the legalization of marijuana.  We will take the acitivist side of the argument and basically break our argument down into three genres.  We will focus on our generation, our parents generation, and senior citizens.  Each group has a specific reason why marijuana should be legalization and we plan on discussing these reasons.  Our generation tends to use pot recreationally, our parents generation would like to tax marijuana in order to get some economic benefit out of the whole situation, and senior citizens would use marijuana for medicinal purposes to help with chronic disease and pain.  We plan on using some sort of political cartoon or poster for our medium as well as a business report or some type of report.  This way we can include visuals with the report, but still be able to get statistics across to our audience.  This is a great topic because there are a lot of sources and opinions on this issue so we plan on using these sources to get our argument across.  Sources with a lot of emotional appeal and ethical appeal will be our best bet when trying to get our point across.  By using a business report or newspaper article we will be able to get the facts across to our audience and as long as we include political cartoons and other visuals with it to keep it interesting.
