We'll be having a feedback session at the end

PART 2

We'll be making posters that build awareness around our social justice issue and we'll take 15 minutes to brainstorm together.

Then we'll take 1 hour and 20 minutes to actually design a poster around our issue. Each poster should include:

      • A title
      • A clear theme that relates to your social justice topic
      • Color scheme
      • An element that you draw, trace or create out of shapes
