The "Media Affecting Food Choice Workbook" is a must-have resource for educators teaching about media influence on food choices and promoting healthy eating habits. This comprehensive, fully editable workbook includes engaging readings, insightful lessons, and practical tips to encourage balanced diets and informed decision-making.

It delves into the critical analysis of media influence on food choices, addressing key curriculum strands such as:

• The impact of advertising, marketing, and media on health and nutrition decisions.
• The role of cultural, societal, and marketing factors in shaping dietary habits.
• The development of communication skills for promoting personal and community well-being.

Lesson Highlights:

Lesson One introduces students to the importance of balanced nutrition and the five food groups. The reading section provides an overview of the role different nutrients play in maintaining good health, encouraging students to reflect on their own food choices.

Lesson Two focuses on food labels, teaching students how to read and interpret them to make informed decisions. The reading section covers information found on food labels, including serving size, ingredients, and nutritional value, fostering critical thinking about daily food choices.

Lesson Three addresses the influence of media on our food choices, including social media, advertising, and social norms. Students learn strategies to be more mindful of these messages and develop healthy strategies to resist negative influences.

Lesson Four allows students to synthesize their learning by creating a project that showcases their understanding of nutrition facts, food labels, and media influences. This reinforces the importance of healthy food choices and provides a platform for students to demonstrate their knowledge.

Help your students eliminate stereotypes, prejudices, and any form of racism. Through this activity, children will be encouraged to recognize that skin color is merely a physical characteristic. By imagining themselves with different skin colors and drawing pictures of themselves accordingly, they will understand that despite external differences, all individuals are unique and equally valuable.

This activity promotes the idea that there should be no room for injustice or discrimination based on skin color.

It is our responsibility to foster equality and promote antiracism from an early age.

This activity serves as an excellent addition to the Racism (Skin Color) Anti-Racism PowerPoint Presentation.

Instructions:

Ask your students to draw themselves in the first picture frame. In the subsequent frames, instruct them to draw themselves again, but with a different skin color or tone. Afterward, children should cut out each picture and staple them together to create a small book. Finally, encourage them to share their picture book and reflect on their emotions and thoughts while looking at themselves depicted in different skin colors or tones. They will realize that they are the same and their worth does not change.

This resource includes:

• Page 1: How I Feel in a Different Race or Skin Color (Version 1)
• Page 2: How I Feel in a Different Race or Skin Color (Version 2)
• Page 3: How I Feel in a Different Race or Skin Color (Version 3)

6 File Folder Games

File folder games allow students opportunities to learn to through play. Communication and appropriate interactions are important skills they will need throughout life.

This set provides 6 different activities, however they each follow the same general rules, expectations, and idea. I use this with my kiddos that need practice turn taking, losing (students may lose a desired game piece), cooperation, following directions, matching and so much more. The games are easy in nature, however highly addictive for the competitive kids. This allows for opportunities with students in differing abilities.

The themes for the games are:

Fill the Wagon

Make a cake

Buggy Day

Laundry

Moon Walk

Ice Cream

Rules (some differences in games - this example is the Fill the wagon rules).

Contents & Prep:

• Print/Laminate 1 mat per person, use a expo marker to personalize wagons.  Each player will collect their items in their wagon.
• Print and laminate 4 dogs, 4 flowers, 4 ice cream, 4 bubbles, 1 book, 1 leaf pile - place them in the middle of the game board. 
• Print the game board and glue/laminate to a file folder
• Print and prepare dice (or use your own dice)

*For easy storage of game pieces attach an envelope to the back of the file folder prior to lamination.  Make a small slice in the lamination to release the top of the envelope.  Attach velcro to close.  

Object:  Be the first to collect all the items except the leaf pile in your wagon.   If you have the books or the leaf pile and someone else lands on it you have to give it to the other player.  

Choose your player:  Once you have chosen your player, place them on the board any spot will do!

Directions:  

1. Roll the dice and move your player.
2. Collect the pieces as you go and place them in your wagon.   You may only get one of each item!  
3. The first person to collect 1 dog, 1 flower, 1 ice cream, 1 bubble and the books wins!

For 2-4 players
