About This Lesson
In this WebQuest, students focus on nutrition, including under-nutrition and obesity as critical issues in the field of global health. Students consider the causes and effects of key nutritional problems and analyze their global impacts. They will also consider solutions to nutrition issues facing both the U.S. and the world at large. After finding several nutritional news articles addressing the issue, students will compose a letter to the editor that integrates information they have collected and articulates their opinion on how to address the problem.
