Find an advertisement related to health and wellness in a magazine, social media post, youtube video or online – and make sure its one with a person in it. Then answer the following questions:

• What caught your eye about this picture/video?
• What product or service is being advertised and how is the ad trying to persuade you to take part in or buy their product?
• Who is the audience for this advertisement? (e.g., age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and gender) and how does this advertisement appeal to the target audience?
• Describe the model(s) in the ad. Is there a representation of various genders, ethnicities, abilities, body shapes, and sizes?
• Does the ad make you feel like you need to fix, change, or buy something to have the “right” look? Why or why not?

2. Next, respond to 2 classmates’ posts in the following way by Sunday 12/6 at 11:59pm:

• • If their advertisement supports positive body image, diverse representation and advocates for healthy behaviors, describe how it does so.
  • If their advertisement does not support positive body image, diverse representation or advocate for healthy behaviors, describe what you would do to change it.

You may continue to discuss and reply to other posts, as well as to replies to your initial post. The discussion will be available until the following week but only posts and replies that are submitted by the due dates will be graded.
