Overview

Students take a quick oral quiz on television, advertising, and body image. Then they use an “Ad Decoder” (critical questions) to examine advertisements that are aimed at them. They also discuss how messages about body image can affect health.

This alignment results from the ALEX Health/PE COS Resource Alignment Summit.
