Scenario You are a member of a committee at your child's school. The committee has been assigned the task to design a flyer for the students to take home to their parents. The purpose of the flyer is to notify parents about the upcoming Field Day for all students. They have specified that it can only be one-page in length, and they have encouraged creativity to catch the eyes of the parents. Several parents wish to participate, so the leader of the committee creates a fun flyer competition. She asks that each person creates his/her own flyer and create a screen share to persuade the committee to choose your flyer. The screen share should visually show the flyer and include a verbal explanation regarding why your flyer will best attract the eyes of the parents. Since you are extremely creative, you know that in order to capture the parents' attention and win this competition, you will need to use color, lines, balance, and contrast visual elements. In your video presentation, be sure to defend your visual choices to the other parents and members of the committee. You know that if you clearly explain why you chose each of these visual elements and how it best attracts the eyes of the parents, you could win this fun competition! Your presentation should be a maximum of 5 minutes.

In your video, it is important to say the name of your source author out loud to acknowledge that you have supporting evidence from an expert in the field. --------- For example, in your video you can say something like, "Robin Landa (*or experts name here*), a communication expert, states ***say the quote from our etextbook (or other source) here*** ".
