DEPRESSION
86 million people suffer from depression in Southeast Asia.
In 2015, suicide was the second leading cause of death among 15–29 year-olds.
How to address issues that students face that may lead to depression?
Current solutions
World Health Day was celebrated on 7th April, with the theme of the year being ‘Depression: Let’s Talk’’.
In Southeast Asia, continuous studies, campaigns, and monologues or dialogues such as ‘Depression: Let’s Talk’ are still on the run to provide a supporting environment for seeking help to the citizens. However, more needs to be done.

Bring prevalent issues from the real world into the classroom.

Final Assessment rubric
The subject we are teaching is English. Students will be assessed on two things: oral presentation and written presentation.
For the oral presentation, we will look at their oral skills and presentation. Their oral skills will be assessed on an individual basis, but the presentation will be assessed as a group.
For the written presentation, we will look at their written skills and quality of information. Both of these will be assessed on an individual basis.
Our rubric uses a scale of 1-4, 1 being poor and 4 being excellent. For more detail please click on the link
