Week 17

This week students will continue their research into adolescent health issues and lifestyle choices. Their projects are due December 12th.

Each day they will view various audiovisual resources that attempt to educate them about these issues. Students will be asked to be active critical consumers of this information. How does the media attempt to manipulate them? Are these videos effective in passing on accurate helpful information in an interesting way?
Can they do better in their own projects?
