Parents and other persons who visit your school might also see your work. Therefore,
it is important that you convince them to consider the ways of taking care of their
bodies, specifically the respiratory and circulatory systems.

that poor lifestyle affects the performance of the respiratory and circulatory systems.
Many people are unaware of this, so they simply continue with their busy lifestyle,
neglecting their health, and exploiting their bodies. The challenge involves dealing
with this by creating a poster that will stir up the people’s consciousness of having a
healthy lifestyle.

Product: Design a wall poster or placard that will make members of your audience aware how
they can effectively take care of their respiratory and circulatory systems. You may
use any medium for your artwork.

Standards: You will be given three (3) days to conceptualize and execute your ideas through
poster-making. Once the product is finished, post it in a conspicuous place such as
the canteen, where everyone can see it.
