Grade 5 · Social Studies · Lesson 38

Global awareness poster

Today you build a GLOBAL AWARENESS POSTER - one page that gets the audience to care about an issue affecting people around the world AND to do something about it. Strong awareness posters do FOUR jobs at once: they pick ONE clear issue (clean water, education, climate, health, or peace), they say ONE sharp MESSAGE in big letters, they prove the issue is real with 3 CITED facts, and they end with a CALL-TO-ACTION the audience can do locally this week. A poster that only shocks people but gives them nothing to do is a poster that gets ignored. Today you will plan, design, and present.
