This poster relates to our class in that it is calling attention to how critical education is. In the text down the side of the poster, it asks a question, directing the audience to read and wonder, which is an effective educational strategy. I find it interesting because it is entirely true. Education is a vital part of life; we are lucky enough to live in a place, and to attend a university, that so highly values education. There is an element of timeliness and insistence that the audience listen to the poster’s message because lives are dependent upon an understanding of a deadly illness. The poster elicits parents and families to pay attention, by declaring that education starts at home.
