misconceptions associated with the term. Students will be informed of the
objectives for the lesson.
DEVELOPMENT
STEP ONE:
Teacher
presents students with an anticipation guide in the form of a K.W.L template which
will be drawn on the board. Teacher records students’ ideas under the “What You
Know” column. Students will be assisted by teacher in recording “What You Want
to Learn”.

·
health
conditions associated with poor dieting
·
good eating habits including balanced diets

amputation
STEP THREE:
Students
will be engaged in discussion based on the objectives for viewing the video and
the contents of balanced diets for various meals.
After
viewing the video, students will record the key words into their learning logs
and use the internet (Web Quest) to find key word meanings and get pictures to
create a balanced diet.
CONCLUSION
Students
will share their oral views on the four types of health conditions, terms
associated with diet, symptoms of poor dieting and preventative measures. They will also state some ways of preventing
the health conditions.
EVALUATION
Students
will be placed in groups of four to create posters to showcase healthy eating.
Our first drafts looks great so far but since our focus is to employ healthy eating, we should think of a topic which captures healthy eating. Please share your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I think we should change the topic
ReplyDeleteDo you have any ideas?
DeleteCan we change it to Healthy Eating Habits?
ReplyDeleteI like the topic, but we are talking about health conditions associated with poor dieting as well. I think we can use "Effects of Dieting". If we remove the word poor, then effects will capture negatives and positives of the food choices.
ReplyDeleteWhat about "Effects of a poor diet and lack of exercise"?
DeleteColleagues, we need to include the point at which the last column of the KWL chart will be completed.
ReplyDeleteCan we include it in the conclusion?
ReplyDeleteYes Della,it will fit perfectly there since students will be recording what they have learnt.
DeleteI think we should add some pictures with children who eat unhealthy foods.For example, a child eating fries, fried chicken, chocolate candies, etc. I believe it will be more authentic to the students since they will be able to refer to it better.
ReplyDeleteFirst, the K.W.L. which will be used at the beginning of the lesson need to be indicated that it will be discussed, hence the topic of diets will come up and then it will be clarified by the teacher. Secondly, the lesson plan is missing the materials to be used to execute lesson. What will the students use to create the poster?
ReplyDeleteThank you Usellta, the adjustments will be made.
