Instructions<\/h3>\nI. Literature Review\u00a0\u00a0 DUE DATE:_________________\n\n<\/div>\nThe United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of gender equality is a complex issue spanning numerous areas worldwide. Equity in rights, education, freedom from harassment and victimization, representation, and physical and mental health are just some of the subtopic areas that might be focused on to advocate for SDG5.\u00a0 Generate some ideas for where YOU believe there is a need and interest to advocate. You can navigate to the UNSDG5 website for even more ideas:\n\nhttps:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/gender-equality\/<\/a>\n\nConduct an overview of the research and information relevant to your selected problem. Recent research is desired, although seminal pieces may also be included. Sure, you can do a basic Google search to \u201cget ideas\u201d and inspiration about the specifics related to your idea, but you will not be able to \"use\" or cite this webpage info UNLESS it comes from a gov. or edu. website. For a review of literature, go on the library homepage and start a basic journal search of your topic. Don't forget...our librarians are HAPPY to assist you in the journal search!\n\nGenerate possible solutions to the issue of your focus based upon your understanding of the \u201cproblem\u201d and relevant research.\u00a0 Meaning, what do YOU think would help address the issue? Training, awareness, starting a dialogue, etc...?\n\nII. Create a Product\u00a0 DUE DATE:_________________\n\nEach student will be responsible for his or her own work.\n\nTeams are accepted only with prior instructor approval.\n\nStep One: Decide which of the three choices you will be producing for this project.\n\nStep Two: Create the product. You are encouraged to have it reviewed by a trusted person to identify any elements that need editing and assess how \u201cuser friendly\u201d the final product is.\n\nProject Choices (select one)\n\nChoice #1: Advocacy Video\n\nOnce you\u2019ve done your research, it is recommended that you write\/type out a script or outline of ideas. What is your overall point or message? Once that is decided, pick your platform. Do you want to talk in the video? Will you use animation software or YouTube editor? Be careful when choosing a platform and make sure that you are able to export\/share correctly. Lastly, finalize\u00a0 (export, check sharing options) and upload to Canvas (a website url, or a media recording, or a file upload). You are responsible for making certain your instructor can access the video PRIOR to the project deadline.\n\nChoice #2: Infographic\n\nYou will produce a single, organized, \"poster-style\" infographic on the SDG5 subtopic of your choice. The topic should be something that you have researched and care about.\n\nYour infographic must have THREE different charts or graphs of AT LEAST TWO different types (2 bar + 1 pie... NOT 3 pie charts). Please take care to create an infographic that is a complete, visually interesting AND informative product with a uniform style and approach. You should not pay any money to use software for the creation of your infographic. Some free options to create an account for and use include:\n
