  • Join to access all included materials

Two options for a health class project are presented in this assignment: a persuasive paper or an advocacy project. The persuasive paper is on students' choice of controversial topics, most of which require a high level of maturity. The advocacy project requires interviewing an expert in the field or someone affected by the health issue, creating and filming a commercial, and designing a billboard. Both options are quite weighty, making this a nice fit for an end-of-semester assignment.
