Looking in Your Blind Spot

In this authentic assessment, you will create a pamphlet that communicates information about how to achieve good mental and emotional health. This may include tips on managing stress, developing positive self-esteem and self-image, building healthy relationships, or helping prevent suicide.

Your pamphlet should be creative and well-organized and include the following elements:

Cover	Title Minimum of one appropriate visual Your name
Page 1	Explain good mental/emotional health Minimum of one appropriate visual
Page 2	Explain at least one of the following aspects of mental/emotional health: how to manage stress how to develop positive self-esteem and self-image how to build healthy relationships how to help prevent suicide Minimum of one appropriate visual
Page 3	Explain at least one of the following aspects of mental/emotional health: how to manage stress how to develop positive self-esteem and self-image how to build healthy relationships how to help prevent suicide Minimum of one appropriate visual

Developing an informational pamphlet is just the first step in helping others achieve good mental and emotional health. The second step involves advocating that mental health resources be available in your school and community. As a class, choose the mental health pamphlet that you feel conveys the strongest message. Why is this resource valuable? How can you make the pamphlet available to others in your school or community, and who needs to give you permission? Which coursemates will take the initiative to accomplish the task?

Post your responses in the discussion area. Then return to the topic several times over the next few days to read your coursemates' posts. Reply to at least two of them, making sure to offer new insights, ask questions, and encourage further conversation.

You may create your pamphlet using publishing, word processing or presentation software, or by hand.
