Assignment
You have been hired as a high school nutritionist and your first big task is to carry out a "Healthy Lifestyles" nutrition campaign. You want the students you work with to understand the relationship between the four categories of biological macromolecules and the food they eat.
Prepare a brochure or flyer that clearly and accurately educates your students about lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids. Your flyer should include the following information about each type of macromolecule:
• overall function in the body
• types of food where each biomolecule can be found
Your flyer should also include an overall theme that emphasizes the importance of a healthy diet.
It is a good idea to organize your understanding of biological macromolecules before you start thinking about what your brochure will include. Filling out a chart like this one might help you organize your thoughts.

Now you need some text. Answer the following questions to help you organize your thoughts:
1. Why is it important to eat healthy?
2. How will a student know if s/he is eating healthy?
3. Why should the students care?
After you have compiled your content, you will want to create a rough draft of your project. In our tech-savvy world, it is often easiest to do this with a piece of paper and pencil! In this draft, you do not need to include any details. Simply indicating what information you want in each place is adequate.
Finish by putting all the pieces together.
