understand as easily how to use the material.
2. Group #1 will assign half their group to be the “consumers” (eat an apple and drink a glass of water) while the other
half will be the “media group”. After 30 minutes the “media group” will video
record the “consumers” doing 1-minutes worth of jumping jacks and 1-
minute worth of jumping rope.
3. Group #2 will also split in half. However, the “consumers” will not actually consume
anything. The “media group” will also video record the “consumers” doing jumping jacks
and jump rope.
