Less than $5 Middle School Life Skills Resources

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.
