Teacher Instructions

These task cards are to be used in conjunction with the

Eating Disorders PPT available in my TPT Store.

Before beginning the PPT, hand each student group

one of the cards that has an ED myth listed on it.

Instruct the students to come to a group decision as to

whether or not each card is a fact or a myth. All of the
cards given are myths!

As you work your way through the PPT, have each

group discuss why they decided on their card being a
fact or a myth before you reveal the answer.
