Warning Sign Recognition Guide¶
Specification¶
The full specification below is extracted from Chapter 4: Emotional Well-Being and Mental Health.
Type: infographic
**sim-id:** warning-sign-recognition-guide<br/>
**Library:** p5.js<br/>
**Status:** Specified
Bloom Taxonomy: Remember (L1)
Bloom Taxonomy Verb: identify, recognize, list
Learning objective: Students identify and recognize the categories of verbal, behavioral, and emotional warning signs associated with suicide or self-harm risk, so they can name what they are noticing in a caring, non-diagnostic way.
Layout: Three labeled columns — "Verbal Signs," "Behavioral Signs," "Emotional Signs" — each containing three to four short, plainly worded example phrases drawn directly from the chapter text (no depiction of any self-harm act, method, or scene).
Interactive elements: Click any example to open an infobox that restates the sign in supportive language and reminds the student that noticing a sign is not about diagnosing — it is about caring and responding. A persistent banner at the top of the infographic reads "If you see any of these signs, tell a trusted adult right away" and links conceptually to the next section's response steps.
Instructional Rationale: Recognizing named categories of warning signs is Remember/Understand-level, so a labeled, click-to-reveal reference infographic is used rather than a scenario simulation. No interactive element in this specification asks the learner to simulate, role-play, or click through a depiction of a suicide attempt or self-harm act; the content is limited strictly to naming recognizable signs and reinforcing a caring response.
Implementation notes: p5.js. Sign text and supportive infobox copy stored as data objects; layout responsive to window resize; no imagery depicting crisis scenes, only text labels and a calm, plain visual style consistent with the rest of the chapter.
