INSTRUCTIONS

Imagine you are having a “Parent Night” in order to educate parents on a specific topic regarding health, safety, or nutrition. Create a PowerPoint on a relevant topic.

It must:

• Be a relevant topic regarding health, safety, or nutrition- be creative!
• Be at least 20 slides
• Include photos and at least ONE video
• Include at least 10 referenced facts on the subject
• Include at least 5 detailed suggestions for parents to incorporate the new knowledge with their children (1 per slide, at least)
• Include a Reference slide (doesn’t count towards 20 slides) for all facts and suggestions

Example:

Peanut allergies. I’d include 10 pertinent facts, and then 5 suggestions to alternatives such as Sun butter, almond butter, Nutella, Soynut butter, and Chocolate Soynut butter. I’d include photos of each product, prices, and where they can be purchased.
