During the Child Abuse course students are often motivated to do something that contributes to ending child abuse, neglect and domestic violence. This assignment provides an opportunity for students to do just that!
The student will demonstrate their awareness of domestic violence by contributing to prevention of the issue by creating a professional artifact. The artifact must capture the most significant message related to raising awareness of domestic violence, preventing domestic violence, ending domestic violence and so on.
Students can create something themselves such as a poem, information pamphlet, poster, or use digital photography they own or use sources that they cite accurately to create their artifact. When creating ones artifact consider where it will be used to achieve the goal of raising awareness. A hand drawn picture, may be meaningful to you but not necessarily professional or meet the goal of the raising awareness of domestic violence.
