 * Rationale: This lesson helps** ||


 * =Assessment= ||
 * **Formative** (Assessment for Learning)
 * Students will be doing some self-assessing and will have a checklist to follow. Providing a checklist will help keep the students aware of the progress they have made and what they need to work on. Students will be able to meet with their peers and share their ideas. By sharing their ideas with their peers, they will be able to have a discussion with classmates and then hearing each others’ opinions. ||
 * **Summative** (Assessment of Learning)
 * The final product will be a Wiki page that will have a possible nutrition plan that could be followed. The students will need to provide a list of resources that back up why they chose the diet that they use for their Wiki page. There will be a checklist for the students to follow. ||

= = __Technology: __Students will be posting on a Wiki page and providing links to back up what they choose to put on the page. ||
 * =**Integration**= ||
 * __Science: __ Students will be exploring the science behind it all and the ideas of why certain foods are good for you body and others are not.


 * =**Groupings**= ||
 * Students will be paired up with their seasonal partner. They will be developing their own food pyramid with serving sizes before doing any research to see what they already know. ||

Visual: Reading article on negative health effects as a result of poor nutrition. Bodily/Kinesthetic: Using their laptops to work on their Wiki page. Interpersonal: Meeting with partner and developing food pyramid. Interpersonal: Doing their own research for their nutrition plan. Naturalistic: Students will be incorporating fruits and vegetables into their nutrition plan. ||
 * =Differentiated Instruction= ||
 * **Strategies**
 * Verbal: Sharing ideas with their partners.
 * **Modifications/Accommodations**
 * I will review students’ IEPs, 504s or ELLIDEPs and make the appropriate modifications and accommodations. It will make a difference with how much time the student has to complete something depending on why they have missed a class. They will need a note explaining why they have missed the class and it will be excused which will give them 2 days to turn in the work they have missed. If they cannot present a note they will only have one day to turn in the homework they have missed. It is the student’s job to ask a fellow classmate what they have missed.  ||
 * **Extensions**
 * The students will be working on their Wiki pages and using the internet as a resource. They will also have to list the resources that they used to help develop their nutrition plan. ||

Once the students have taken their seats, I will introduce the topic of the day, which will be nutrition. They will receive an article on the health effects that are associated with poor nutrition (http://www.unsystem.org/SCN/archives/scnnews14/ch07.htm). With this lesson, students will be able to see the benefits of a balanced diet as well as the downfalls of poor nutrition. //**<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Students demonstrate a healthy practice and/or behavior to maintain or improve their own health in each of the following areas: personal hygiene, healthy eating; physical activity; and tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use prevention. **////<span style="FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic">(10 minute). // //**<span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-STYLE: normal; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-style: italic">Where, Why, What, Hook, Tailor: Verbal, Visual **//<span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> || <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">They will have the opportunity to discuss what they feel this article is about and any key points from the article as a group. Once they have talked about the article as a group and asked any questions that they may have, they will then be put with a partner that I have chosen. They will be chosen by counting off by twos at their table and four and the ones will be together and twos together as well. They will have to create their own food pyramid that is blank with their partner to see how much they know before doing any research for their Wiki page. (See attached handout of food pyramid). They will be provided with a handout that lists some discussion topics and also resources that they will be able to use while doing research for their Wiki page. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">They will be able to explore the links by themselves and then share ideas with their partner. They will also have the opportunity to talk to their partner about how they will be completing their Wiki pages. (20 minutes) <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Once they have completed their own food pyramid and discussed their Wiki pages. They can use the links that have been provided on the handout (see handout with URLs). The students will be doing research in their pairs to find information on serving sizes and how to have a balanced diet. The students will be able to create a nutrition plan that could be followed either by themselves or a mock individual that is close to their age. (45 minutes) <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Students will be evaluated by following the checklist that has been provided. The checklist will outline exactly what needs to be put on the Wiki page and clearly explain what their expectations are. If they student do not complete their Wiki page with the class time provided, they will discuss with their partners how they will be able to finish it for the following class period. They will need to go over their checklist that night and make sure they have complete what needs to be completed for the next class. There will be time provided to make sure that the students have any questions are answered about completing their Wiki pages and that they need to be completed for the following class. They will also be informed that the next class will be focusing on physical fitness. (5 minutes). <span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> ||
