STEP 2: CREATE
Create either:
A 200-word report summarising the problem and possible solutions to the issue, or
An artwork/poster/video to raise awareness on the issue/cause and suggest what we can do to tackle it
STEP 3: RECORD
Take photographs/video of:
You doing research (take a selfie with the computer/phone!)
Your artwork/poster/video in progress
You holding your completed artwork (if relevant)
Reflect on what you learned in your SIL Journal in SLS.
