=Summary=

===Students will measure various dolls and calculate the real-life measurements. They will then measure themselves and calculate their doll measurements. This will give students the opportunity to learn more about why some toys are not accurate depiction of real life. This will also allow students the opportunity to develop an understanding of the relationships between media influence and their own self-image. ===
