You will be creating a Traditional resume

Read: What is a Resume?
Read: Writing a Resume the shouts 'Hire Me'

Activity: Make 3 columns on a piece of paper.
Column 1 – Skills, talents, abilities and interests.
Column 2 – Employment and achievement history, including jobs, volunteer work, community service and any achievements or awards. Don't forget to include art shows you have participated in- (COAL Student show, California College of San Diego, Del Mar Fair, and artwork published in Literary Arts Magazine)
Column 3 – Jobs you aspire to hold, either in the short term (for example, a summer job or internship, an after-school job or a volunteer position) or in the long term, or fields in which you might be interested in working. Alternatively, you might list colleges or graduate schools you are interested in attending. 

When the lists are finished, go back over the first two columns and mark every item that could be showcased or illustrated using audio, video or other technology. For example, musicians could imbed an audio clip into a résumé, writers could add links to their written work and chefs could use links to recipes or imbed a video of a cooking demonstration.

Traditional Print Résumé
Working alone or with a partner, expand your list in columns one and two, taking each item and explaining or describing it in four sentences or less. Detail when and where the work or activity took place, what it entailed, what your duties and achievements were, what skills you developed, and so on.

Then, using the samples below or a MS Word template, craft a basic resume, using one or more items in column three to develop an objective and focus. Return to the tips in the article to work around any personal challenges, such as a lack of employment history.

Your ads must have a headline, tagline, copy and illustration and it all must be original and contain factual information.  It must give information on where to go for help or to get more information.

The print advertisements have to be done in Photoshop using type tool and layers.  The ads must be 8-1/2” x 11” tall with a resolution of 300 pixels/inch.

You are to use your unique photograph as an illustration for the advertisements.

Your marketing campaign must speak directly to a teen audience.  Go for the gut- think of something that would make an impact!

Please note the following:

1.     You are to do research first on the subject, using websites- (sometimes there are ones on the topic, such as www.depressionhurts.com, www.familyfirstaid.org, www.at-risk.org...), as well as personal research done among peers. 

2.     With the research, find out what ads have been done before, what logos have been used, what headlines have been used, etc.  Use this as your springboard for your new ad.

3.     Your presentation will discuss the issue, show what has been done previously for awareness, and explain what you two are doing differently to raise awareness.  It will be set up through Powerpoint as follows:
        Slide 1: Title Page
        Slide 2: Present the problem- statistics etc (can be more then one slide if needed- include the source)
        Slide 3: What ads were done before (can be more then one slide if needed/ ads that were published)
        Slides 4- 9: Your photo series of six photographs (each photograph on their own unique slide)
