Because a this pitch should last no longer than a ride in a typical elevator, you are challenged to capture this assignment about 30 seconds (or approximately 100 words). Consider including the following elements as you draft and rehearse your brief speech:
- Compelling introduction and conclusion that inspire potential readers
- Irresistible hook that makes your perspective on the text powerful
- Thoughtful insight that evaluates how the text addresses issues covered in PSL
- Call to action that helps potential readers see how the text might help us work towards justice
