Library Log - 2 print souces
Library Log for Eng 121 693/697
On Wednesday March 27, 2013 I was at Harmony Library from 12:30-2pm. I went through a lot of magazines trying to find hard sources to work with. I did find Overcoming Childhood Obesity by Colleen Thompson, MS, RD and Ellen Shanley, MBA, RD, CD-N. I checked it out to look at. Lots of ideas. I also looked at the online academic journals. I found the Phyiscal Activity and childhood obesity: strategies and solutions for schools and parents. I really liked this article. I searched under Child Obesity and Elementary schools in the US.
Back to the library March 29, 2013 from 4:30-5:30. Didn't find any had sources, but I found I started looking at Michelle Obama's Let's Move program. I found the Michelle Obama's Federal Fat Farm, I liked this one because it had a different perspective than most articles.
Back to Library April 1, 2013 for another hour. 12-1pm. I found a lot articles online The article I like the most The Role of Schools in Preventing Childhood Obesity. This narrowed down my topic. Are schools really responsible?
I also found the article Understanding Childhood Obesity from online news magazines.
