Important note. You should do this project in teams, and teams that you get to choose. So, create teams of four members each, as long as they’re prepared to really participate. Hint: don’t invite teammates who won’t help you! Make sure that each presentation answers–in words and pictures–the eight questions below. The key purpose of this project is to learn about good nutrition while earning up to 100 bonus points in all categories.
This is a quick-research, share-information project. Let’s say that your department manager asked you to do a quick presentation on diet and nutrition because she thought the department looked tired and worn out and could use a lesson in eating well.
Here are the questions to feature in your PowerPoint presentation:
- Are donuts, cookies, muffins, (e.g. Krispy Kreme) good or bad for you? Why or why not?
- If there are healthy and unhealthy muffins, what makes a muffin healthy?
- What is the dirty little secret about fast food?
- Why is Subway considered to be healthier? Is it true?
- How do you eat to have sustained energy?
- Name the top-ten healthiest foods.
- Design a healthy (but tasty) menu for one day. This includes breakfast, morning snack, lunch, after-school/work snack, and dinner.
- Some people don’t like to eat much in the morning. Is this good or bad? What is a good light breakfast? If you eat a large breakfast, how do you make it healthy and long-lasting energy-wise?
Don’t forget that pictures and graphs are the heart and soul of a good presentation, but don’t hesitate to put key points (bullet points) in easy-to-read titles and lists.
Have fun learning how to eat well and be healthy. Due on May 26th and shared after the Memorial Day 4-day weekend.
