Step 1: As you are aware, this week as a whole class, you will be participating in the Depression Awareness Day where you will inform the school community about various topics surrounding depression. For this day to run as smoothy as possible it is up to each individual to make sure they are prepared in advance. Collabratively, you will need to organise a meeting (negotiated with teacher) to get together and discuss what needs to be finalised. Things to consider include;
- Seating arrangements
- Role-plays and Movies (from week 2)
- Posters from week 4
- Depression Awareness Day Posters with details
- Schedules
- Food
- Music
- Decorations
- Photos of the day (Teacher)
Remember it is intended that this day will inform others about depression and is aimed at promoting good mental health within the schooling environment.
Step 2: As a whole class, you will need to reflect on the day using a PMI (Positive, Minus and Interesting) table and post it to your blog. You are also required to write a paragraph (or more) on what else could be done to continue to promote good mental health within a school context. Any photos/videos taken on the day may also be posted to your blog (please see teacher first).
Step 3: Celebrate! You have put in a lot of work over the last 6 weeks. Well done.
