Supplies Needed:

Video: Buy Me That: A Kid's Guide to Food Advertising

Lesson:

Show the video - tell students to pay close attention to how advertisers make hamburgers look especially tempting in commercials.

After the video, discuss the steps a person would take to prepare a hamburger for a commercial.

Break the students into teams and have them create a camera ready burger.

You may want to ask administration or teachers to come in and serve as judges for which burger looks the most appealing.
