Barriers to Living a Healthy Lifestyle (Poster)

Instructions to students:

• Create a rough draft or brainstorm first – list all of the barriers that stand in your way of living a healthy lifestyle.
• Place yourself in the middle of the web (with picture, drawing or simply a bubble with your name in it).
• Place three bubbles off of you: psychological factors, social factors, environmental factors.
• Record items, graphics or text, that impact your health decisions.
• The distance between items and their position on the page all indicate how important they are to you. For example, if friends have the most impact on your health decisions, place them close to you.
• Use labeled arrows going from one item to another to show relationships.
• Use color and symbolic graphics to enhance the meaning of your web.
