Urban Knitting Social movement
Intro:
Attention getter
- Imagine a world where injustices were fought by using nonviolence and beautiful art? That’s what
- Urban Knitting is trying to do.
Cred
- Hi I’m Ellie and even though I’d heard of Urban Knitting before this project, I didn’t really know what
- it was until I researched it using Vrooman’s charts and toolboxes
Thesis
- **The Urban Knitting movement uses peace and beauty to bring light to troubles in society while
- still asserting their dominance as a movement.
Preview
- Will be using comic frame, sarcasm, colors, intention and emotional appeal to better explain the
- movement. Transition
Body
- Comic
- Nonviolence
- Good feelings
- Mettiamoci una pezza
- Transition
- Sarcasm
- Ladies fancywork
- Use words like “terrorizing” “garish yarn crimes”
- "We're great at parties"
- Transition
- Color ?
- Attention
- Beauty
- Individuality (dip back into mettiamoci?)
- Intention
- Different facets
- All goes back to nonviolence and beauty
- Emotional Appeal
- Create reactions and bring life to areas that need it
Conclusion
- Restate thesis
- Clencher
- Something like “So next time you want to start a movement but you don’t like the idea of
- riots and marches, do arts and crafts like the urban knitters”
