lessons inspired by Fed Up!
This exercise from one of our Hot Docs films had us look at some of the ingredients in snack foods we like. I created Jeopardy-type questions for some of them and we used it as a learning opportunity for how some of these ingredients work and what they do to our bodies.
Te'ron brought in a package of gum with Xylitol on the label. Upon doing some research, I can see how this ingredient may be advertised as something beneficial for maintaining good oral hygeine; not only is this a good topic for Media Studies but for Science, as well.

The cool thing about these sites is the opportunity to practice what you have read with the review questions, located near the bottom of the tutorial!
The coordinates of the octagon are here:

I will check the homework tomorrow in the notebooks and model some possible solutions.
I fumbled quite a number of times when I was trying to make a video to post up on the blog. In the end, it was too larger (over 100mb), so I will just show it in class on Tuesday.
