Over the years, the health and weight of students has become a national concern. Obesity is on the rise and continues to be a problem present in younger and younger generations. A majority of students are eating higher caloric processed foods and engaging in less physical activity. This evolving sedentary lifestyle has been caused for a number of reasons, a few of those include the rise in technological activities, availability of processed and refined foods and less outdoor activity in children. I n regards to teaching health in schools, it is important that we implement programs to help students develop a sturdy foundation for their bodies in order to maintain healthy practices for lifetime. Creating a strong base for your body's health will help ensure healthy practices and behaviors throughout the duration of your life. Students will demonstrate a healthy practice/or behavior to maintain or improve their own health in both of the following areas: nutrition and physical activity. Throughout this lesson, students will begin to expand their knowledge and utilize the resources listed below to enhance their education and broaden their health knowledge. The various resources include: health textbooks, nutrition models, population graphs, dietary journals, nutrition labels and personal results. To begin class, students will be asked to complete a health survey that will assess their current health status. With these results, each student can independently determine their strengths and weaknesses. From there, students will be asked to pick an area of health they are interesting in furthering their knowledge on. They can chose any aspect of health as long as it relates to proper nutrition and/or physical activity (fast food, soft drinks, processed foods, fad diets, eating disorders, over/under exercise and etc). Next each student will be give and ISP (Information, Source, Page) Chart to help outline and organize their research. The ISP Chart is intended to assist them through the researching process, and also provide as a source when they are creating their work cited page. The rest of this period will be designated time for the students to complete their ISP chart. They will start the assignment alone but eventually end up getting together with their "Think Pair Share" partner and finishing the chart, along with sharing ideas and opinions. During day 2, the students will be given a majority of class time to work on their Glogster project. They can chose to work with partners if they wish or they can work alone. What they do not finish will become homework and is expected to be finished for the following class.
