Youth Issues Poster Presentation

Review the chapters in the textbook on either youth substance use/abuse or the LMS readings on Canadian youth justice. Pick a poster topic that relates EITHER to youth and substances OR youth and crime/the justice system. See you instructor if you need help refining your idea into something “poster-able”. Be sure to use at least two sources other than the text. (In other words, find your our own research materials).

Create a poster using words, pictures, found objects, charts, graphs etc. to communicate the knowledge you have gained on your subject. Make a list of talking points that you wish to describe to the class. This can be on notecards or as a one-page typed agenda. Ask your instructor to see examples of previous work so you have some concrete idea of the parameters of this presentation and what your instructor is looking for.

On the day of the poster presentation, display the poster and explain its contents and the findings of your interviews. You should speak for 7-10 minutes. Please see your instructor more information about her or his preferences regarding poster presentations.
