Coping with the Body Image Blues
Interactive Whiteboard Version

Grades: 5 - 9 Price: $179.00 $139.95
Everyday teenagers are bombarded with images in the media that make them feel insecure about their own bodies. Using a mix of dramatic vignettes, humorous animation and real student interviews, this program analyzes how a bad self image can damage self-esteem but also why it’s so important to accept one’s body the way it is. Older teen on-camera presenters help viewers understand that the media’s image of the perfect body is heavily distorted. The video includes interviews with teens who are very happy with their bodies even though they don’t fit the stereotypes glamorized by the media. For those who want to change the way they look or who want to become more fit, the program also emphasizes the importance of a healthy diet and exercise.

Running Time: 22 Minutes

Includes: video, and all support materials, fact sheets and activity sheets on a data DVD, plus a printed copy of the teacher’s resource book and student handouts with pre/post test in a 3-ring binder.
