Introduction:
The children will be shown examples of various food advertisements. These will vary
between healthy food and good food- what looks more appealing?
We will have a talk and discussion as a class group based on the different
components of adverts for food and the strategies used to make the product appear
appealing to the consumer.
The children will then be asked to identify the success criteria: What makes a good
advert? How can we make healthy food look as appealing as food that is bad for us
e.g. McDonalds.
Childrens suggestions will be recorded in the form of a mindmap.

Development:
The teacher will outline the guidelines for the task: The children will create an advert to
promote healthy eating to younger class groups in the school (Junior/Senior Infants)
Children will be divided into groups of 4/5 according to mixed ability.
Each group will be given a character from the Food Dudes Programme which will feature
in their advert.
Groups will be asked to promote a healthy food product which they must sell to younger
classes in the school. Their adverts must be appealing and convincing.
We will co-construct success criteria for the advertisement as a class e.g. use of
persuasive language. These will be displayed on the WILF chart.
