Michelle Obama, the First Lady, started the Let's Move! Initiative to combat child obesity in the U.S. Here are two videos inspired by the campaign promoting active and healthy living.

2) You can make your own viewer response video. This can be done in many ways:
You can learn the dance and make your own video, either solo or with friends.
You can do a viewer's response video, commenting on how you reacted to the video. While doing this, keep the questions listed above in mind.
3) You can write a video proposal or create a video addressing the issue of health and well-being, and how it affects learning, in your own way. Be as creative as possible and make sure you include as many aspects as possible:
Who would be in your video?
What would they be doing?
How would you be promoting health and well-being?
How would your video relate to other students?
4) Use your creativity, imagination and strengths to come up with your own idea! Please make sure to visit me beforehand and run your idea by me.
