Fearsome Fact Pt 2
INTRODUCTION FOR TEACHERS
Revise the message each child used for the previous lesson. Each child stands up and shares the message.
PREPARATION
Print out copies of each poster, enlarge and laminate to display in the room for the remainder of the year
Display only posters 1 – 3 on the whiteboard to begin the lesson
Introduce Poster 4 to the class in Activity 1.
Print out the lyric sheet for “Oh Say No to Soft Drink”.
ACTIVITY 1
Read from the whiteboard the Fearsome Facts – Soft Drinks Poster 1-3
Introduce the 4th poster and discuss.
Revise as a whole group. Ask the students the following questions:
Who should know this information?
How are we going to let them know?
Write ideas on the board.
Ask the students to choose a poster (Poster 1, 2, 3 or 4) to redesign to make an impact on their target audience.
e.g. If for younger students then they could draw teeth and rot eating at the teeth and “rottas” in a drink bottle of soft drink.
Write key information or words underneath the pictures.
e.g. If it is for older people they could draw teeth falling out or people in pain with tooth ache.
If the students have thought of very creative ways to get the message out, the teacher may choose to put aside another lesson to follow through on their ideas.
ACTIVITY 2
Read through and learn the song, “Oh Say No to Soft Drink”
Present at assembly or a parent information night.
Oh Say No to Soft Drink
Oh Say No to Soft Drink
Say no to soft drink and sugary drinks too
Make the decisions that are right for you
Oh…say no to soft drink
Oh…say no to sports drinks
Oh…drink lots of water
That’s what I want to see
H2O has a positive force
It feeds your body and brain of course
Oh…say no to soft drink
Oh…say no to sports drinks
Oh…drink lots of water
That’s what I want to see
Turn your mind around and work it out
You’re the most important so give a shout
Oh…say no to soft drink
Oh… say no to sports drinks
Oh…drink lots of water
That’s what I want to see
