3. **UPDATE** Glogster has been blocked by the Department of Education (BOO!).  So your final assignment has changed.  Your new assignment is to prepare a list of 5 interview questions about eating healthy, exercising, and avoiding bad foods.  Make sure the questions show what you’ve learned and aren’t something anyone could answer.  After you’ve made the questions and practiced your answers, have someone interview you using IMovie.  Then, Mr. Lahana will show you how to put the movie on your blog.
