2. 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)?

4. Your Products
Your creation(s): After you gather the information, your group must create and present the information to the class. 
Using your research (physical/mental, social, 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.
