Have you ever tried to convince a child that food from your kitchen tastes just as good as food from McDonalds? This activity does just that. It also works on healthy food choices, media influences, and making good decisions. It could be used for health, economics, decision making or anything focusing on media influences. The best part is that on top of the $1.00 you will spend for the activity, it will only cost you $2.00 for supplies. All of those teaching moments in a performance based activity for only $3.00 and almost no prep work. How is that possible? View my free preview to find out. Tested with real students in the classroom of Heidi Raki.
We are starting a health unit on how your friends, family and the media influence your health. I am very interested to see how they react to the "McDonalds" graham cracker v/s the regular. Thanks!

After our move to Morocco in June of 2011, I will be teaching first grade at an American School in Casablanca, Morocco. Currently, I teach all grade levels in the computer lab at a Title I school in Georgia. Previously, I taught 3rd grade for 4 years. I student-taught in 3rd grade and Kindergartden. I teach in a low-income school where my students need to look at every problem from 12 different angles. Although it is challenging, it is also incredibly rewarding.
