8th Grade Super Heroes are Battling Eating Disorders

The 8th grade Consumer Education students have been learning about specific characteristics of Eating Disorders. They are working with partners to create their own "superhero" to battle Anorexia, Bulimia or Compulsive Binge Eating disorders.

The 7th grade Consumer Education students are examining advertising techniques. The students became familiar with bandwagon, snob appeal, humor, emotional appeal, celebrity endorsement and lifestyle advertising techniques. The students worked with a partner using Google Draw to create an advertisement for the new product that they designed. The students advertisements were very persuasive!

2. Thread the needle:
Hold the cut thread about 3/4 inch from the end with the fingers of the other hand, and push the thread through the eye of the needle until about 1/2 inch extends beyond the eye.
3. Double the thread so that the two cut edges are even.
4. Wrap, roll and pull thread into a knot.
5. From the wrong side of the fabric, insert the needle and come through to the right side of the fabric. Go up through one hole of the button and down through the other.
6. Slip a toothpick between the thread and the button to form a shank
7. Take 4 to 5 stitches through each set of holes.
8. Remove the toothpick and come up under the button with the needle.
9. Wrap the thread around the base of the button 3 times to secure the shank (spacer) you have created.
10. Bring the needle to the underside of the fabric. Take a small stitch and bring the needle through the loop to secure a knot.
