Mallory+Finnie+Health+9-Healthy+Living

Primary Editor: Laurie Halupa(Purple)

Comments: I really like this lesson, however, you may be trying to cover too much information for one lesson. My main suggestion would be to focus on the healthy living plan for the overweight, inactive individual and to save the lesson on the negative effects of illegal drugs for another day. I am also a little worried about giving the students 3 class for unstructured research. I can see some management issues cropping up. Something I really like about this lesson is that students can choose to present their project any way they like. This allows student who are weak in reading or writing to present their project in a way that fits their learning style better. __Subject:__ Health/ Phys. Ed. __Lesson__: Healthy Living/ Healthy Choices __Time__: 4-5 - 50 minute- class periods __Grade__: 9

**__Abstract__:** Students will be given a case study containing the biography of an unhealthy/Obese individual. They will use the internet to research and create a healthy living plan for the over weight individual in order to improve that persons health. In groups of four students will create a healthy living plan that will include meal plans and exercise regimes and tips for improving over all general health. Students will present their case study to the class along with their healthy living plan.  **GLO** - Students will make responsible and informed choices to maintain health and to promote safety for self and others. involvement.

 * SLO** - W-9.1 Use knowledge of a healthy, active lifestyle to promote and encourage family/peer/community

1.1 - Share information collected from electronic sources to add to a group task 3.1 - Access, retrieve and share information from electronic sources, such as common files 3.2 - Use networks to brainstorm, plan and share ideas with group members
 * __Information and Technology Outcome C5__**

__**Objective**__ -Students will demonstrate the importance of a healthy lifestyle by researching different approaches to being healthy. -Students will create a diet and workout regimen designed to eliminate bad habits and get themselves and other healthy.

__**Project Outline**__ - Students will “take on” a hypothetical, overweight and inactive individual and help that person change their ways. - Students will need to find the recommended daily values for carbs, fats, and proteins. - With these they will need to plan out a balanced diet for a week aimed at helping their individual lose 1-2 pounds a week. They will have to find nutrition facts for the food and show the content fat, carbohydrates, and proteins for each meal. - Students will then have to find 5 activities and show how their individual can do these activities to increase their physical activity and explain how increased activity can improve your health. -Students then need to create a month long physical fitness routine that involves the entire body and cardiovascular endurance. Student will make the routine benefit an overweight person, who goes to the gym for 1 hour a day, Monday- Friday. Students will discuss five negative effects of being overweight, and what can happen if left untreated. **__Introduction__**

 1) Teacher will introduce the topic of health living to the class and discuss the effects of being inactive and over weight. Teacher will ask that class what they think the long term effects of being inactive and over weight will be. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #800080; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">2) Teacher will show an episode of " Honey, Were Killing The Kids”, which depicts and obese family and teaches them to live healthy after showing them what the children will look like in 10, 15, 20 years if they don’t change their lifestyle.  3) Students will be put into groups of four <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #800080; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msoansilanguage: EN-CA; msofareastlanguage: EN-US; msobidilanguage: AR-SA;">and given a paper copy of the assignment. The assignment will be discussed and the teacher will open the floor to questions and comments. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: #800080; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'mso-ansi-language;">4) Student groups will first decide who will work on each part of the project and what type of presentation they will be making. Students will then be given individual, unstructured time to search online for information they feel is relevant to their selected topic.

1) Students will be given 2 class periods to research their topics. Students will each need to create a report, at least 2 pages, following the outline given. 2)During the 3rd period, groups will be given time to create a presentation that will then be shown to the class. Students may present their information in any way they like, including powerpoint, drama scene/skit, diorama, posters, etc. Ideas must be brought to the teacher for approval. Presentations must be 15 minutes in length. 3) Students will then present their finding to the class. Students will receive a combined mark, from their class and from the teacher. The class will use the same rubric as the teacher to mark their classmates.
 * __Procedure__**

__**Learning Adaptations**__ -Students who have difficulty with reading or writing skills will be placed with a group who has strong reading and writing skills -Have students repeat back directions, explain the steps that they are going to do that day -If a learning assistant is available, have them work with students/groups who are not as independent.

__**Assessment**__ -Formative and Summative. Use a group work rubric, along with a summative presentation rubric.

__**Closure**__ -After presentations are complete, have a group discussion about why students think this is an important project to complete. E.g:: Why should we know the effects of obesity, drugs, and alcohol have on our bodies? Why should we care what type of food we eat?
