Welcome students! Introduce today’s 30-minute project: designing a mental health poster to promote well-being. Encourage participation and creativity.

Read the objectives aloud and explain why each is important. Emphasize empathy, awareness, and visual communication skills.

Guide the warm-up discussion. Define both terms, record student answers, and connect to later poster themes.

Highlight these facts verbally and point students to the full [Mental Health Fact Sheet](#hope-mental-health-fact-sheet).

Invite pairs to use their devices for quick research. Circulate and offer examples of strong slogans or imagery.

Remind students to check the [Poster Rubric](#hope-poster-rubric) often to meet all criteria. Support sketching and materials use.

Organize the gallery walk. Prompt journal reflections as they conclude. Collect sticky-notes to share compliments.

Encourage students to keep these conversations going beyond today’s lesson and to share their posters more broadly.
