(Please do not provide a link as your response to this question, please copy and paste the mission statement into the response.)

• Student’s must identify the narrative of someone who has been helped by the advocacy group and the work the group sponsors or service it provides.  
  • An effective narrative provides; context, meaning, and interest to listener and speaker.  
  • Therefore, the narrative you provide should do the following:
    • Help you understand how the individual is being hurt by the social issue;
    • Demonstrate the effectiveness of the advocacy group’s work to address the social issue.
    • You need to find the the narrative interesting. 
  • Often times, students will provide information what the group does, and while that may address the first two tenants of a narrative, that information often fails at the last because it isn’t that interesting.  
  • The narrative will provide the most compelling part of your speech and therefore the success of your speech depends upon the effectiveness of the narrative.
