Low Calorie Nutritional Snacks for Teens

1. Working in groups of four, students will review various recipes and Nutritive Value Charts of food to determine which foods are healthy and low in calories.
2. Students may create their own snack or prepare a recipe they found. It must be high in nutrients and low in calories.
3. Each student group will prepare the snack acting as if they are presenting a demonstration for the food channel on TV. The demo must be 20 to 30 minutes long. Each student will participate in part of the preparation.
4. Each student will also participate in the photo shoot. All steps of the demonstration will be recorded with the camera.
5. As students are demonstrating, they must be talking to the audience(classmates and teacher), indicating what they are doing as they prepare.
6. Each student in the audience(classmates), will sample the food prepared.
7. The students will then develop their digital photographs and use the pictures to create a poster which presents a visual summary to the class of the healthy snack they prepared. Posters will be displayed around the school in the cafeteria, classrooms and hallways to promote healthy choices.
