24 Hour Pupil Food Diaries

In this Teachers TV programme Joanna Postlethwaite, Head of Food Technology at John Cabot Community Technology College, sets Year Seven students the task of recording their eating habits for 24 hours. Megan and Ryan keep a video diary for the day, recording what they both eat at school and at home, producing some interesting results. Megan has a fairly balanced diet, whereas Ryan does not. Joanna uses the diaries to explore with her Year Seven class what teenagers need to eat to maintain a healthy diet.
