Root Causes
It was very difficult for my 7th grade students to use the slide deck so I did the activity on a piece of butcher paper with sticky notes. This provided more flexibility to them.
I turned this into a digital version* (the next slide).
* The language is from the students. The layout was revised by IACP to better illustrate how the placement and links should show the interconnections between items.
How can we address poor nutrition at BMS?
Problem Statement: Poor School Lunches
Step 1: So What?
Consequences / Symptoms
Step 2: Why?
Root Causes
They don’t put the time and effort into the lunch.
They don’t eat it.
The food is frozen and you can just bake it
Budget is too low.
They use the money for something else.
Maybe our school can’t afford many good lunches for a whole school.
They try to make it healthy, but it just ruins it. The district also wants to make it cheap.
We don’t have enough money for quality food.
The food doesn’t have good nutrition value.
Bad activity
You’re hungry the whole day.
People stop eating.
For people wil P.E. after lunch there's a chance of passing out.
Your stomach will start hurting.
The food is bad.
after lunch they won’t be able to focus.
Hungry children, tried children, loud children, calls from parents.
People might get food poisoning or just feel sick to their stomach.
They don’t eat it, so they might eat someone elses lunch
We don’t eat-we could waste the food
food all over campos.
Lack in nutrients which will cause us to be tired during classes.
Some people feel nauseous if they don’t eat enough.
Students can’t work well without the right food.
We have poor nutrition
Why? - Causes �in the roots
So What? - Consequences in the branches
