Having access to a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and adequate levels of physical activity is an opportunity everybody is enabled to participate in. Students need to know that there are ways around gym memberships and pricey grocery bills. Using their resources wisely and taking advantage of what they have access too will be essential to developing good health.

Students will use a four column chart worksheet to identify accessible physical activity approaches versus non-accessible physical activity approaches and affordable dieting methods versus non-affordable dieting methods. Using the information gathered throughout this unit and their work, students will be asked to develop an interactive online newspaper article. Using the number heads together technique, students will be grouped into teams of four. Each student (1,2,3,4) will be assigned an area from the four column previously mentioned. That student will be responsible for developing a 6-8 sentence paragraph on that specific area of concern. The group will then collaborate and piece the article together according to the material covered. Students will respond to questions developed pertaining to the lesson and the teacher will check for an understanding of the intended material using the thumbs up - thumbs down method. Once students receive constructive feedback from their peers and teachers, they will then revise their work accordingly.
