Digital Media Project Part A: Abstract

Title of Project:​ Healthy eating habits
Goals and Objectives:
● To educate children on what a balanced diet consists of referring to the three main food
groups that are highlighted in Canada’s Food Guide 2019.
● To teach children the appropriate etiquette and manners required at the table when eating.
● To teach and explain to children the importance of maintaining hygiene before, during
and after consuming food.
Target audience:​ Children aged 5 years old
Format/ tools for DMP:
- Put reference page for your work
*​Min:​ Storyboarding - to put everything together
1. Xue:​ We will use Adobe Spark to create an engaging and visually-pleasing video
explaining the individual stages on how to thoroughly wash one’s hands. By using Adobe
Spark, we can add light background music and visual effects to make the video stand out
and engage the children’s attention more easily.
2. Esteban:​ To create a more exciting atmosphere around this subject, we will use Canva to
create a comic strip on what table manners are required during meal times. This comic
strip will specifically outline the correct terminology children should use at the dinner
table as well as things they should avoid saying/doing such as placing their elbows on the
table.
3. Min:​ Lastly, as a preventative method, we will show children a Youtube song on the
differences between healthy food and junk food. This song introduces children to
different kinds of foods such as salads and chocolates and it explains why it is important
to differentiate between the two.

4. Azra:​ By using Canva, we will create a vibrant infographic outlining the key aspects of
each food group according to Canada’s Food Guide 2019 (vegetables and fruits, whole
grain products, proteins) which are necessary for a balanced diet.
