 Your final project in New Mexico history will be to create a poster that highlights issues facing New Mexico today.  It is important to identify an issue that seriously impacts the state.  Issues to consider are: DWI, water shortages, Indian gaming, endangered species, etc.  The poster should reflect your understanding and ability to explain the causes of these issues.  Background information and sources of information are essential.  


The poster will be primarily used as a Public Service Announcement for the state and to build awareness for the school about issues we are facing here in New Mexico. 


To download the poster template, use the link New Mexico poster link. 


You can change the format, fonts and colors of the poster as you see fit.  I will be editing the posters and will look at them before printing.  I will print the poster and we will hang them in the hall near the TMP office.
