In this final step, you will read an article titled, "A Big Fat F". This
article is about how schools are failing children regarding their health.
This has added to the obesity epidemic. You will also read other articles on
the obesity epidemic.
You will gather details from your readings, and consider using other facts
you have from your Internet research, to complete a persuasive PowerPoint
presentation.
The purpose of the presentation is to inform school leaders how they've
failed, and to persuade them to do something about it. You may want to
include facts on the obesity epidemic including causes and effects, details
on how schools have contributed to it, and how they can help prevent it.
