Pressure Groups

In class we have been looking at Pressure Groups, what they are and how they operate. After comparing and contrasting two existing pressure groups we are inventing our own pressure or interest group. Many of you are creating wikis and blogs as a method of delivering your message. I have found a website that allows you to create and customise your own speaking character. Perhaps you could craft a character that will personally welcome visitors to your site and share your message, and embed it in your wiki/blog. Alternatively you could create a character that explains what a pressure group is like the example here. The website for creating these characters is http://www.voki.com/ . It's free but you will have to register. Remember to ask your parents.
