A Commercial Success: Live Healthy

Students research various health-related topics, including eating disorders, nutrition, body image/self esteem, and physical activity (sports and conditioning). They use advertising techniques to write the script for a short (30 second to two minute) commercial targeted for other teens. They then film the commercials and use a video editing software program to edit footage and create commercials that will be aired on the student message system located in the main lobby of the building. This lesson was collaboratively planned by a health education teacher and the school librarian.
