When covering important topics, it is essential for all students to understand common terminology so that everyone is on the same page with content. When students define words in their own terms using visuals, it helps students get their perspectives across and retain information better. It is very possible to create visuals without depicting the act of purging itself. Creating educational scenes rather than inappropriate, triggering scenes is important for maintaining a safe environment for all students.
Have the students choose five of the terms below. Students will create a spider map defining and illustrating vocabulary words for disordered eating.. Usually students will pick the most popular three (anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating) because they are familiar with these terms and it may be easier for them to visualize. Asking them to pick five will force them to learn through discovery.
