Oo teenagers are gonna love talking about, for example cooking like a four-course meal. Probably that's more of the interest of like the 30 and 40 and 50-year-olds that you might be teaching. For teenagers, probably their parents just cook for them all the time so doing a whole unit on cooking, they're probably not that interested. But if you do, say a unit on fast food and the impact it might have on kids. Or, should teenagers and children be eating fast food? Should fast food companies advertise to kids? Stuff like that would be interesting I think to teenagers because it would be relevant to them.
