One way for developing writers to learn how to create "quality work", is to look carefully at what compelling communicators do, and try to identify "what works" in their writing.
Take a look/listen to the following "compelling communicators". Write a 1-2 paragraph overview of each speech that identifies what makes it powerful.
Example 1: Kyle's Last Lecture
Example 2: "I Have a Dream" Speech by Martin Luther King Jr.

The campaign flyer I have shared with you was actually used by a candidate in a civic election a number of years ago. The candidate did NOT get elected during that particular campaign, but during a subsequent election the candidate WAS successfully elected. The flyer that the candidate used the second time around was much better -- it was clear, concise, well written and visually appealing.
Consider and comment:

Consider and comment:
- Do you think that this "improved flyer" helped to portray the candidate in a better light?
- Should the quality of the flyer matter to voters? Why or why not?
- What does the quality of a person's written work communicate to others?
