- Nutritional information: carbohydrates, fibre, fat content, caloric value and any other nutritional findings.
- Health benefits such as “may reduce risk of some types of cancers” or “may improve digestion” etc.
- The available forms to purchase; fresh, canned etc.
- Where in the world is it grown?
- How is it grown? Describe the ideal growing conditions?
- When is it in peak season?
- Define how you would select the best product?
- How do you store your product after you purchase it?
Cite a minimum of 3 credible online resources on your poster by using www.bibme.org to cite ALL of your images and information that was used in creating your presentation.
Part 2: PRESENTATION
- Each person in your group must speak on your fruit or vegetable. 5 minutes maximum for the whole group to speak. You may wish to Create a BUZZ about your produce. Why should people incorporate this produce into their diet? What are the nutrients and health benefits related to this produce? What is great about your recipe? Perhaps you wish to explain the taste, texture, when you could use this recipe, what is easy to make etc.
- Using a slide show program, create a VISUAL that will act as a backdrop for your presentation to the class. SHARE THE SLIDESHOW WITH ME ON GOOGLE CLASSROOM.
- WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR SLIDE SHOW:
- Title and subtitles (no explanations or additional text - save this for your presentation)
- Up to 4 high resolution images that relate to your fruit or vegetable
- Easy to read text for the audience
