Here a link for a great Unit Plan on Eating Disorders I found online. There are a lot of elements to it but I like how there is focus on both male and female eating disorders. A lot of times people don't think of males as having eating disorders but it is actually quite common.(georgia)

Also, here's a podcast done 4 years ago for Eating Disorder Awareness Week. I thought it was well done. (georgia)

Very insightful article from the NY Times relating to __Wintergirls__: ="[|The Troubling Allure of Eating-Disorder Books]"= Quite a few experts give their perspectives and opinions on __Wintergirls__ and other books of this nature. It may answer some of the questions you had as you read the book. It is also very interesting to read the comments and reactions of readers at the end of the article. //Posted by: KLoveUWRF on 1/28/11//

A great book I read during my teenage years was by Mary Pipher, it is called **__Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls.__** This book takes a look at "girl-poisoning" and the struggle for adolescent girls through the eyes of her experiences as a therapist for troubled children and teens and offers some "prescriptions" for our society. A sister-book to this is __**Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys by Dan Kindlon**.__

ARTIST- **Janine Antoni-** is a performance artist whose work is informed by many of the issues surrounding food, women and body image. I wanted to find a link to her work...but couldn't. Just google her and many of her pieces will be displayed as well as the conceptual ideas behind them.

Here is a link to different food pyramids around the world letting us know how to best feed our body according to that country. I thought since Wintergirls is centered around food it would be neat to take a look at how different societies think about what food is best for them.

I found a two links that summarize the contents of a book called "The Educator's Guide to Mental Health Issues in the Classroom" by Frank Kline and Larry Silver. It looks like a good resource for teachers. One of the topics covered are eating disorders.

Students could research this site and contact staff to learn about eating disorders and how they are treated. http://www.emilyprogram.com/ Nick Schreiber

Here is a website that I found on an eating disorder lesson plan for a health class and it also has some reading suggestions along with it. [] Sarah Babler
