Assignment Description

• Description You will be working on a group
  project (2-3 in a group).  Your group will be
  assigned a nutrition topic to explore.  Each
  group member will be responsible for looking at
  the topic from one of three perspectives

• Physical/Mental
• How might this topic negatively affect your body
  (diagrams are great to illustrate this!)? Is it
  all bad or can it have any benefits to your body
  also? Does it affect the way that you think
  (mental)? Did you come across any interesting
  facts or statistics?
• Social
• If you suspect that a friend of yours might be in
  trouble due to this topic, what Signs Symptoms
  can you look for (physically and behaviorally)?
  As a friend, how can you help this person, who
  may be at a serious health risk? Who can you
  refer them to? Can this affect their daily school
  routine?
• Cultural
• How much media coverage does your topic get
  (commercials, TV Shows, Public Service
  Announcements, etc.)? How do you think teens
  interpret the messages? Can you share any real
  world examples of people affected by this topic
  (celebrities or
• people in your life)?
•

Your Products

  the information to the class.

  cultural), each group member will create a
  mini-Power Point (at least 3 slides, with
  pictures).
• Eventually, those mini-Power Points will be
  combined to form a Group Power Point that will
  be shared to the class (10 minute presentation
  explaining topic/Power Point).
• Lastly, your group is responsible for combining
  information to create a Flyer or Newsletter (one
  for each student in the class) to accompany your
  presentation.
