• • The following are some options for you to pick from when creating your vision board. Pls note - creativity is encouraged!  PowerPoints, songs, items, movies, giant wallets that hold big bills to represent the money saved!

Option A

The final presentation will be of your person's experience as they explored their relationship with tobacco/nicotine products.  One example would be visuals of your person's Past, Current and/or Future relationship with these products. What they found was most helpful and how their view of these products has shifted. 

Option B

The final presentation will represent you, the student going through the process of empowering the person you invited to explore their relationship with tobacco/nicotine.  What was that like for you? Has your confidence in inviting most people to explore their relationship with these lethal products increased? 

Students who are not presenting will be asked to provide feedback in writing to those presenting thus it is vital that every student be present throughout the course and especially in week 4. You bring value!

Gentle Suggestion
