Remember to write 5 paragraphs about the group of the week (see below):
Identify the twitter handle of the three people you chose (you cannot use the person suggested on the syllabus as one of these people but you can look at who they follow for suggestions)
Explain why these particular individuals were chosen (were they particularly active around a certain topic? Were they trying to organize or promote knowledge around this groups risks in general? Did their approach to twitter or their age inspire you to follow them?
Identify a risk one if these individuals has highlighted either that week or past weeks.
Explain how the above risk connects to the content of the class. (cite something from the module 6 readings about people who identify as overweight with APA citation)
Provide a reflection on your own thoughts and feelings regarding the increased awareness you have felt following these individuals.
