NUTRITION & PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
What are the benefits of regular physical activity?
For Discussions, create a 1 to 2 minute multimedia piece (for example, a video, poster, narrated PowerPoint, etc.) of your choosing and post it to the discussion to respond to the above question. Besides posting your individual multimedia piece, you must comment on 2 other students’ multimedia pieces (you are not required to record your comments, but can choose to use the text comment feature).
Remember, they must still be quality posts. Simply stating, “Nice job, I agree” is not sufficient. Examples of quality posts include:
Providing additional information to the discussion;
elaborating on previous comments from others;
presenting explanations of concepts or methods to help fellow students,
presenting reasons for or against a topic in a persuasive fashion,
sharing your own personal experiences that relate to the topic, and
