The most effective nutrition instruction for this group of pregnant teenage girls would be either the short film strip with group discussion or the hands-on cooking class. Because some of the girls are still attending high school and some have dropped out, there may be a great deal of difference in their reading and learning abilities. An hour-long lecture with handouts would most likely overwhelm and bore them, while the filmstrip or a cooking class geared to their age group would hold their interest and enable them to learn.
