After watching the Teach Every Child About Food TED Talk from 2010, write an initial discussion post addressing the following topics: What thoughts or questions did the information on the video bring up for you?
What is one thing that you learned that you did not know before you watched the video?
Do you think that the obesity situation that is discussed in the video is better, worse, or the same as it was in 2010 (find a source online on article or information from something published in the last 2-3 years to support your response and include the source in your post)?
What is one question that you have from the video?
Post your initial response as soon as possible. You will also need to post two responses to other people in the class. Please try to have each initial post have a minimum of one person respond to it. For example, do not have everyone respond to the first initial post and then no other posts have responses. Look at the rubric for this assignment for further details on grading, Initial posts for this discussion are due Thursday and responses are due by Sunday.
How do I get the most points for this discussion?
Discussions should be 8-12 complete sentences long and reference something that we discussed in the module or something that you looked up online (with the exception of this one which is just to get to know you). Main Discussions are worth 10-25 points, and replies to discussions are 5 points each. This discussion requires two replies to other students. These replies are worth 5 points each with the option for five extra credit points for an additional reply. For example, if the discussion is worth 20 points and you need two replies, then the initial post is worth 10 points and each reply is worth 5 points each for a total of 20 points. You can then write a third reply to another post in that discussion for an additional 5 points, which would give you 25 out of 20 points for the assignment.
