Making a Healthful Food Website
Ask students to design elements that can be included as part of a healthy food app or website.
Distribute the handout Healthful Food Website. and explain that students should use the Co-Co’s AdverSmarts game as a guide, but unlike the Co-Co Crunch website which uses gimmicks that may mislead or foster brand recognition, their website or app should be for a healthful food such as a fruit or vegetable.
Students should:
- Think of their favourite healthful food and select it as a product to promote on a website or app.
- Create a name for the website or app.
- Design a logo for the food type.
- Make a slogan that uses weasel words to describe the food.
- Create, name and draw their own food spokescharacter.
- Draw or paint a picture of their new character with their favourite food.
Ask students:
- what kind of activities they would include on their app or website
- how these activities would inform people of the healthy nature of their food type
- how the videos, games and activities on the healthy food site would be different from those found on other apps or website
Once students have finished using the graphic organizer to brainstorm ideas for their website, have them draw or paint a design for their homepage.
