The MyPyramid Food Pyramid

Blog Assignment #4 Interview+ Presentation

1.  In what way did the first interview affect your presentation?  Please explain, be specific and use an example.

A: My interview is scheduled for this week, so it did not affect my presentation.

2.  What you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?

A: I had three different visuals that I used for my presentation that represented the three versions of the food pyramid.

3.  What was the most challenging to do and why?

A: The most challenging thing to do was to check for understanding and response from the audience. I was seriously panicking when I had to present  because it  was slightly nerve-racking.

Blog Assignment #2 First Interview

Q: Who am I interviewing and why?

For my First Interview, I am interviewing a Nutritionist at The Pomona Unified School District, Maria Davila. I am interviewing her because she has over five years in nutritional planning and fieldwork at the school district. I think this is a good place to start for my senior project because I don't really know too much about Nutrition yet, and someone who has experience planning meals for schoolchildren would be beneficial.

Blog Post#1: Senior Project Topic

Q :What is my topic and why?

          The topic I  chose for my project is Nutrition. I chose this as my topic as I have always been obsessed with reading the Nutrition Labels on food packaging and wondered how this is correlated to eating a healthy diet. When I was in elementary school, we learned about the Food Pyramid and how much of each food group we are supposed to eat daily.

Q: What do you want to accomplish from this project?

I would personally like to know why exactly our bodies need vitamins and minerals, and exactly how much we should be ideally consuming. Also, I would like to start eating a more healthy nutritious, diet that is not dusgusting or entirely Vegan.
