"Yes, you all have great reasons...notice that many of you mentioned the design or the colors...Colors can convey a mood or feeling from different people. For instance, red can signify passion or dedication. Blues are often related to politics and values. Yellow is warm, inspirational and is the happiest of all colors. Green represents freshness, security, tranquility and nature. Purple: Purple is the color of luxury, passion, sensuality, nobility and promotes a sense of depth. Gray is the color of architecture, neutrality, wisdom, intelligence and is very futuristic. Brown represents hearth and home, contentment, honesty and high virtues. Black: Black communicates clarity, creating a perception of seriousness, sophistication, glamour and prestige. White symbolizes purity, excellence, cleanness, clarity, simplicity and optimism." she said each color as she pointed it out in the various posters.. "So many times the colors are used to help sway different ideas from different people"

"Also, many of the posters have slogans on them...not all of them, but many of them do. These are catchy phrases that are a play on words that usually deal with the candidate's first or last name." she said motioning towards a couple of the examples, "These almost become battle cries for the candidate's supporters in rallies and in social media...these slogans help to make sure that the candidate is easily remembered....almost like a commercial found on Muggle television...sometimes the slogan has to do with their campaigns and sometimes they are just funny plays on their names."

She walked towards one of the tables and picked up the box in the middle and grabbed a sheet of paper, "You'll notice that at each of your tables, there is a plastic box with some basic items, such as construction paper, glue, markers, colored pencils, and scissors and sheets of paper....and many of you have extra supplies because the announcement for class encouraged you to bring supplies to class..." she placed the box and paper back on the table [/b]"And ya'll did smashingly bringing supplies, I seen beads and glitter and stars and stickers and lots more...[/b]" she paused and then continued, "If everyone will grab one of the sheets of paper and place your personal items on the ground." she waited for everyone to follow the directions, "Today I would like you to create a poster in support of your favorite candidate running for the Board of Governors...you can be as creative as you like, but remember that it must must must be school appropriate." she said as she walked up to the board and flipped it over. "Here is a list of the candidates still in the running for the Board, feel free to choose any one of the candidates and be creative and have fun. Your poster should include atleast their name and an image of them....I encourage you to remember the colors and what they convey and even try to think of a slogan that represents your candidate..." she said excitedly.
