Interview
assignment
- Outcome B (10-12)-4
Ask students to clip
various images from popular magazines - they could be fashion,
fitness or other types of magazines. They will use these during
the interviews they conduct. |
Divide the class into three
groups. Each group will be assigned to interview a different age group,
but everyone must conduct an interview. One third of the class will
interview people around the age of 8; another third of the class will
interview people around the age of 15, and the last third, people
between the ages of 30 and 50.
They are to ask and get
responses to the following questions:
- How do you feel about
your physical abilities?
- How do you feel about
the images you see in the media (show your subject some of the
pictures you've collected)?
- If you could change
one thing what would it be?
- Why?
- Do you think the images
you see in the media affect the way you feel about your body?
They should also note
how they would describe the subject and compare that to the way
the subject describes himself or herself.
 |
After
they have done the interviews, reflect as a group on the findings
(do not reveal the names of the people you interviewed, only
their ages): Were there differences in body image perceptions
at different ages? Did the media have an impact on body image
- positive, negative, indifferent?
|
Did
there seem to be more or less of an impact depending on the age
group?
