1. Select your topica suggested improvement for your workplace or community. You can use the topic from your proposal, or you can come up with a different idea if you'd like.
2. Find an image that will complement or illustrate your post in some way. You may want to use your mobile device to snap a compelling picture to go with your persuasive post. If you use an image that you didn't create or take yourself, make sure to attribute credit to the person who did by tagging them (using the format @username for Instagram) or including their name in your caption. You will be able to upload an image using the template below.
3. Create a caption to persuade your audience to support your cause.

• First, introduce your cause (an improvement to your workplace or community).
• Then include one rhetorical appeal (logic, emotion, or credibility) directed at the audience to encourage their support or engagement.
• Finally, include one example of anecdotal evidence (personal experience) that supports your persuasive point.
• Optionally, you can end your post with hashtags to note key terms or phrases, and attribute credit for the image you've used if you did not create it yourself.
