New Projects!

Yesterday, January 15th, my Social Justice Group (No Sugar Added) went to visit Wat-aah! again about upcoming projects. Right now we are going to start researching on energy and sports drinks. Each one of us are going to research an energy/sports drink. I am going to research RedBull, Isiah Monster, Bella Gatorade, Sofia Mellow and Sarah 5 Hour Energy. Once we learn about the ingredients and facts about the drink, we are going to interview kids and adults on their views of it; how safe it is for kids, have they ever drank it and what they thought, etc. We are also going to look into the pros and cons of each drink, especially with the sports drinks, because some people think sports drinks are fine for you. Along with researching the drink, we are going to look into how they advertise and the audience they are trying to reach. We also want to know where they sell it. Along with that where they hang posters for the drink. Some kids have died from drinking energy drinks, and we are going to look into those news articles. We are also starting to figure out some ideas for the teach-in. One of the things we are going to have is the posters we made for the concert a few weeks ago. We plan to use those and put them around the room we have for the teach-in. We will also use the research we are starting to do in the teach-in.
