Dear flowers,
Just thought I'd share a short and sweet post about my progress with uni work. I've finally done my research for my essay on factors influencing food choices in Australia which is due in two days. Looking at things from a distance I found that conflicting messages received from the school, home and societal environment are major determinants of how people choose their food. I think it's safe to argue that you need to look at people and their decisions based on their context. I found it fascinating where in one study Aussie children weren't able to classify if apple pie was 'good' or 'bad' since it had apple in it and also whether french fries were 'good' or 'bad' since they were made from potatoes. A study also found that Aussie adolescents aspire to have bodies that are different to what is perceived as a healthy body. Females desire to have even skinnier bodies whereas males prefer to be more muscular.
Hopefully with plenty of english breakfast tea and happy thoughts this baby will be done and dusted by midnight.
Been thinking a lot about future posts and I've decided on two things. One will be to show you some stuff I'm doing to help my tutees to prepare for NAPLAN which is coming up in May. And I'll upload a simple checklist that I've come up with after going through the marking criteria for the writing prompt component of NAPLAN. Hopefully it well help any tutors out there struggling to find resources besides those on the website. And secondly, I'll share a cool idea I found for the perfect Valentine's Day present to give to loved ones. And it's extremely purse friendly(:
Stay tuned.
Love,
Miss Fun size
