Community Mural / Poster Campaign

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Every piece matters. A creative lesson provides an opportunity for scholars to create murals or posters that represent their views on social justice. Academics work on smaller posters or pieces of a mural that will ultimately be displayed in a public setting. The resource also gives families a chance to participate in the artwork unveiling.
