Posts #2 and #3: Respond to your Peers (10 pts)
- Read through the plans that have been proposed by classmates to combat childhood obesity. Select the plans shared by TWO of your classmates and post a response to each one by addressing:
1.) Plan initiation - what should be taken into consideration before implementing the proposed idea? How feasible would it be to implement? Do you
foresee any possible "roadblocks," which might have been overlooked
and should be addressed?
2.) Cost and Benefit Analysis - how do the costs associated with plan
implementation and maintenance compare to the potential benefits?
3.) Program Maintenance - will the effectiveness and value of the plan be
preserved as time passes?

•Grab the viewer’s attention early and hold it!
•Propose a behavioral change.
•Cite facts to show support for the idea.
•Offer specific actions that an audience can take.
•Make a point- clearly and concisely.
