TASK

Imagine that you are a political party and is contesting in the upcoming General Elections. Come up with a Party Manifesto (on any platforms such as GoogleDoc/ Slides/ Pages/ Infographic/ Photobooth recordings etc) in preparation for the elections. Your Party Manifesto should be on a platform that can be accessible by a URL link.

Your Party Manifesto should include:
  • Your party's logo (and the significance of the logo colours, symbols, etc)
  • Your party's ideas on good governance
  • What your party will do when elected into power, i.e. the plans for governance
Guidelines for Party Manifesto
  • it should not be trivialised (i.e. include non-important, irrelevant information)
  • it must be drafted with the target audience in mind (i.e. Singapore public)
  • it  cannot include any form of vulgarities, coarse language or any form of offensive/ insensitive words/symbols, etc.
  • it should contain succinct but poignant points and not too generalised
