Poster Project

see assignment sheet for more details

Select a resource or topic in this unit to create a resource we can make available to students in the school.

This can include consent, warnings about online dating,

information about a certain aspect of LGBTQ2+ rights

or services for transitioning individuals.

You can use an existing ad from a resource, however,

you will need to write a more detailed reflection on

why you selected this resource (what need are you

addressing, why, how will this help,

what are potential complications)?
