Today, we will be using Photoshop (Some of you may know photoshop).

Although we can go over hundreds of pages of how to use photoshop, the best way to learn is by doing. You will create a Political miniposter using an image from google, a picture of yourself, and a statement using Photoshop.

I. Blog Question -
Using the vocabulary word you chose to make a poster in the past few days, write how someone from that perspective sees the subject abortion. For example, if my definition was Socialist, I would begin with..
"As a Socialist, I see abortion as a right for women and something the government should always pay for."

1. Using Google Images, find a picture or symbol of the political vocabulary you have been working on; example: "authoritarian" or "capitalism", etc.
