The problem with obesity

Cloze activity, reading and a writing exercise to mark National Obesity Awareness Week which runs 12th-18th January 2015, although the activity does not specifically refer to this and so can be used at any time. The cloze acts as an introduction, while the reading should stimulate discussion and provide the background for the writing activity. The writing task includes space for planning and drafting.

Editor’s note
I didn’t have time to upload this resource for the 2015 New Year but it is fine to use at any time of year. Obviously tutor discretion is advised as to whether the resource is suitable for your particular learning group.This year’s (2016) NOAW (now known as ‘Do something good for JanUary’) runs from Jan 11 – 18 and more details can be found at: http://www.jan-u-ary.co.uk/
