Use this focused rubric and the resources below to develop your site.
- High-risk behaviors and negative lifestyle choices: habits and behaviors are more commonly seen in the U.S. college student population that can lead to poor body composition.
- Short- and long-term health effects: discuss the health effects of underweight and overweight body composition.
- Symptoms and/or indicators, and tests/diagnoses for a person that may be on the negative end of the wellness spectrum: detail symptoms and indicators for someone struggling with unhealthy body composition. How would a health professional identify an unhealthy body composition?
- Optimal lifestyle choices for prevention, and how to seek treatment when needed: how can U.S. college students improve their habits identified in rubric item number one if they wanted to maintain or achieve a healthy body composition? Identify different treatment options and types of qualified professionals if additional help/treatment is needed.
- Globalized content is included: and do not forget to copy and paste the following focus points/questions into your site. Compare the current rates of overweight and obesity in the U.S. to your assigned country. What similarities and differences do you see in our diet compared to theirs? What can our country learn from their culture that could help lower U.S. overweight and obesity?
- Information is adapted to the college-aged population (15-24 years of age): make this consistent, and do not discuss adolescents or the average adult population.
- Credible sources referenced and cited in-text: for all information, including infographics and videos used.
- Site uses concise and easily understood information, as well as a variety of images, infographics, and/or videos: think of what you like to see when you look up health information. Make your page easily navigable, and sections of information clearly identified. Avoid text that is too small to read, and be sure your images are not blurry or cropped too much.
