Give students time to create and prepare materials:
- Posters & Banners → clear message, one key statistic, short slogan, and visuals.
- Letter to Newspaper → introduce project, include evidence, invite them to visit the school for a story/interview.
- Social Media Posts → short captions + visuals; tag the school or local community pages (teacher approval required).
- Flyers → simple design with QR codes or links to learn more.
Encourage creativity. Humor, art, and emotion help attract attention.
Didactic tips
- Encourage safe and respectful activism.
- Approve all external communication before it’s shared publicly.
