Week 5: Informing the school community about depression

Step 1: In groups, you will create a Movie using Moviemaker/or produce a role-play that focuses on a specific topic related to depression (See previous week)

You may wish to include the information you gathered from week two and week 4 to complete this activity. Your Movie must include the following;

• Facts about your topic and how it correlates with depression
• Images that reflect your chosen topic

Your role-play must;

• Props to emphaisise scenes
