Lesson Plan
Learning Intention:- I am learning to investigate food and health ingredients and advertisements and how they can influence consumer’s choices.
Success Criteria:-
I can watch a food and health advertisement and identify how it makes me feel and how the characters look like they feel.
I can research a food or health product and detail its ingredients and nutritional value.
I can compare the nutritional/health facts surrounding the product and the message of the advertisement.
Introduction:
Begin the class with various types of advertising videos for different products. Talk about how the advertisements make us feel, how the actors/characters are portrayed to feel/look (e.g. happy, healthy, once depressed and now happy).
Development:
Allow children to research one item of food or ‘health’ product shown on advertisement. They can either make a presentation or poster. Think about:
- Is it actually healthy?
- Does it work?
- What ingredients does it contain?
- How many calories does it contain?
- Daily allowance percentages?
- Does it have any repercussions/side effects?
- Is there any scientific evidence for this?
- Is the above clear in the advertisement?
