__**Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale**__

 * //Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.//**
 * Rationale:** Through this lesson, I will target my instruction to all six multiple intelligences which are interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, logical/mathematical, verbal/linguistic, and visual/spatial. My goal is through implementing different learning strategies that will appeal to learners of all different MI's that students will grasp the main idea and purpose of this lesson. I will also incorporate the learning styles of a puppy, beach ball, clipboard,and microscope. For example, clipboard learners will find that a rubric is easy to follow since they can see what rules they need to follow and what is expected of them for a certain assignment. Another example that I will use to help learners of these four styles is that microscope learners can understand the main concept of this lesson through going deep into the reading and providing research they do in their own time.

Rationale: Maine Learning Results: Health and Physical Education A. Health Concepts A1 Healthy Behaviors and Personal Health 9-Diploma Students comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health. Students will be learn the concept of how healthy eating on a daily basis determines your body and your longtime health. Students will also learn what it takes to accomplish fitness goals by exploring through Goal-Reason Web by setting goals and listing what you need to make sure that goal happens.Students will also learn healthy concepts through the content notes below.
 * //Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.//**


 * //Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.//**
 * Rationale:** Since my lesson is targeted towards students of all MI's which are interpersonal, intrapersonal, verbal, logic, naturalist, kinesthetic, and musical. Some of the activities that will happen will be the Goal-Reason Web where intrapersonal and interpersonal students will benefit since they are creating a goal and a list of ways they need to accomplish it but then they are collaborating with a partner to discuss each others goals and how they can help each other out. Technology will also be vital since students will be responsible for creating and posting on their very own blog account. Students might also use technology as a form of assessing their personal nutrition since they will see various graphs that will evaluate their nutrient intake.

Conclusion: The lesson will conclude when the students will present their findings through using Fitday. They will talk about the food that they consumed during the three day journal, and each student will talk about whether or not the average three day eating span of themselves says that they are a healthy or an unhealthy eater. Each student will also talk about the changes or modifications that they would like to see in their diet in the future. This lesson will transition into the next lesson where we will be talking about student's activity level, and how exercise and eating healthy go hand and hand.

My classroom will be organized into rows of five. Students will be paired up for most activities where the set-up will be just two desks together while allowing space for each duo. See Agenda Above. Students will understand that nutrition can make an impact on your health status. Eating healthy will prevent you from being overweight. Students will watch the film Super Size Me and see the affects of how the director, Morgan Spurlock, body transformed by eating McDonald's for 30 days 3 meals a day.

Students will know....calories, sugar, carbohydrates, vitamins, serving size,etc. I will deliver instruction through a variety of ways through film, visuals, classroom discussion,and most importantly student to teacher communication on a one on one basis. I feel discussion is important for interactions since you will get to hear a variety of opinions. Communicating with students one on one is also important because you get a clear understanding of where they stand in the class, and the teacher gets to build a relationship with the student as time goes on. I will check for understanding by communicating with my students whether it is as a group or through one on one conferences. Students will understand how what kind of food and how much of it you put into your body makes an impact on your health status. //[|Super Size Me]// is a film about Morgan Spurlock who goes on a 30 day McDonald's food binge. The documentary shows first hand how eating McDonalds every meal of the day during this time period significantly damages your health. Students will also be able to look at the [|nutritional] content of the food they consume on average through the website tool Fitday. Nutrition is something that our youth struggles with everyday. If we can give our children the message about how unhealthy food can harm your body at an early age then they will not end up being an overweight [|adult]
 * Logical:** number of calories, nutrients, serving,etc.
 * Intrapersonal:** students get to work with Fitday and log on their own personal journal
 * Equip, Explore, Rethink, Tailors**

Students will use the website Fitday to keep a journal of what they eat Students will use the journal for three days to see how what they eat impacts them in terms of how well their nutrition is based on calories, carbohydrates, protein, calcium,etc. Students will be able to evaluate their own personal nutrition whether it is healthy or not. I will group my students based on students' favorite colors. Whoever has the same favorite color they will be grouped together unless they have been partners already this unit. Students will be completely responsible when assigning roles or if roles are even necessary. Students will show evidence of learning through the presentation that they will conduct. They will talk about their 3 day food log and analysis their eating habits whether they are healthy or not. Each student will also show evidence of learning by talking about certain changes or steps they can take in changing their diet in order to live healthier. Students will rethink how about they are eating. Students will also compared their results with a partner and give each other advice on what they can do different.
 * Verbal:** talking to a partner about their diets
 * Naturalist:** some foods are grown outdoors, so a naturalist may feel inspired to start gardening
 * Explore, Experience, Rethink,Revise, Refine,Tailors**

Students will be self-accessed by the teacher by simply being given a pass or fail grade by whether or not they created a 3 day food log and if they created a presentation for the class. I will provide timely feedback to students through the working progress by talking to students individual to see if they understand the assignment. I will also provide timely feedback through a quick discussion after each student's presentation. This lesson relates to the upcoming lesson because eating health and being physically active go together if you are trying to stay fit. Students will post their results on a blog and be evaluated by a pass/fail situation whether they completed the assignment or not.
