Hi Everyone,
Be sure to choose ONE stage of life to develop the ‘ad’ for….. one from the 5 lifestages I have listed….define the stage & state what years this life stage includes.
This is to be a one-page ‘handout’/ flyer, like any other you have seen in medical clinics, medical offices, hospitals, or anywhere health info is taught.
Be creative & reflect your best research.
Many students use the word program for ‘FLYER’ to create this assignment.
