I would use citizenship textbooks to find out initial information; this would make sure that all my base information is correct since it would have to be to get into a school textbook. I would then go online and find out extra information to extend my knowledge, also because a text book has limited space to put information the internet is limitless which means that it can offer a lot more information and content. I would use the book first because not all the information on the internet maybe incorrect so using the book first means that I caN use the correct information and then extend.

I have shared my view on the North Harrow library closure by going to a picture event where a group of people posed in a photo to represent how the community are against the closure and are still in need of the library, this attempted to persuaded the voting parties of my view that the North Harrow Library (along with other librarys in Harrow should be closed). I cannot yet say whether or not my attempt was successful because it has not yet been decided if the library will close.
Another example is I sent an email to James Bond my local MP telling him my opinion on North Harrow Library closure by emailing him and telling him how I am against it, also asking him what I can do to get involved in the cause. This was very successful as far as I know because I didn’t get a response from him to this probably means that he hadn’t read it or that he had and it hadn’t persuaded him of my opinion.
A final example is that I told my father about TTIP and about what they are about, I told him about what they are doing and how it is going to affect him if it gets put through, he wasn’t really for or against the cause but after I told him how I was against it
