Social Movements

Chalking Tactic

Chalking about your social movement is really cool. Maybe you are the most social person but feel like you want to speak out about a social problem. Chalking allows you to write it on the ground that thousands of people walk over and read. Not all of my group wanted to meet up and do the chalking together. But I did have two people meet up, and their names are Luke and Eric. We really enjoyed chalking about our social movement. We even sat around after we finished writing out sayings to see how many people read what we said. There was a lot of attention toward our topic. It's a cool feeling when you see people reading what you had to say because that shows your cause is getting attention. If I was to do the same thing again the only thing I would do to improve it is have the whole group do it together as one. With a bunch of sayings that all went to the same movement would be great because there is more for people to read and possibly understand. Another way I would improve this is by changing the location we did the chalking. Possibly change it to a location that tons a people walk over everyday. Luke and I planned it really well, we planned to do it right in front of library because the whole school pretty much walked passed it everyday. I thought the event went very well and got a lot of attention from a lot of people. I also think people opinions either got stronger or even changed after reading our chalking. I heard people talking about how they strongly agreed with what we wrote and supported what we were saying.
