Original Prompt

Recap all the issues in the locality that were discussed in the previous lessons. Give the children ‘my cause posters’. Allow them to choose an issue and fill in their own solution to the problem. The children will outline the issue, why they chose that issue, the solution to the problem and who can help them resolve the issue.

This learning resource focuses on creating a 'My Cause Poster' that empowers students to identify and engage with a local issue that they are passionate about. The objective is to encourage students to explain the significance of the chosen issue, propose a viable solution, and identify key stakeholders who can help implement this solution. The resource provides guidance on various local issues, creative solutions, and the importance of community involvement, along with a poster layout and self-assessment checklist to ensure clarity and effectiveness in messaging. It also emphasizes the role of youth in creating change and encourages deeper reflection on obstacles and potential impacts of their proposed solutions.
