Maine Learning Results Alignment

Maine Learning Results: Health Education and Physical Education- C. Health Promotion and Risk Reduction C1 Healthy Practices and Behaviors Grade 9-Diploma Students demonstrate healthy practices and/or behaviors to maintain or improve the health of self and others in each of the following areas: healthy eating; physical activity; tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use prevention, and prevention of STDs, HIV and unintended pregnancy.

Rationale: This lesson helps students learn about the importance of physical activity. It helps them analyze their own fitness levels and realize ways to improve them.

Assessment

Formative (Assessment for Learning): Students will first individually complete the first two questions of Project 1A on the "How Fit Are You?" Web Quest. Students will then break off into groups of 4 to brainstorm how they can improve their individual fitness levels. After the groups are done sharing ideas, we will share the ideas with the class. A student will record a list of activities and ideas of how to improve fitness levels on the board. When the class is done sharing, the students will complete Project 1A of the Web Quest in their blogs. Summative (Assessment of Learning): Students will be assessed based on their completion of the Web Quest. They will be graded based on whether or not they answered all of the questions in Project 1A, and the completeness of their blog. Participation during group and class discussions will also be taken into account.

Integration

Technology: The class will begin with a video clip of a young man suffering from obesity. The class will be completing blogs and have access to each other's. This way, the students can comment on each other's ideas and give them feedback. Writing: The students will type in blogs. Mathematics: The students will figure out their fitness levels by comparing how fast they can run a mile to the average for their age. Groupings The class will be split into groups of four. They will be split up by going around the room and numbering students one through four. Once the students form their groups, roles will need to be determined. One student will be the reporter, one will be the speaker, one will be the time keeper, and one will be in charge of leading their group's discussions. After the group discussions, the reporters will share with the class what their group discussed, while a student who volunteers writes the ideas on the board. After that, the students will break up and work on their own.

Differentiated Instruction

Strategies: Visual: Students will be watching a video clip at the beginning of class. Bodily-Kinesthetic: Students will get up and move around to form their groups. Intrapersonal: Students will work individually on their Web Quests and reflect on their own fitness levels. Linguistic: Students will express their own ideas on how to increase fitness levels and by describing different workouts/activities that they enjoy. Interpersonal: Students will form groups to brainstorm ideas. Logical-Mathematical: Students will compare their timed miles with the average for their age.

Modifications/Accommodations: I will review the IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP for each student and make appropriate modifications and accommodations. If a student missed class, then they will be required to brainstorm activities by themselves and complete the Web Quest and their blog. If the student does not have the data of their timed mile from P.E. class, then they will take their best guess as to the time that they can run it in.

Extensions: I will use an online video clip (Obesity) to start the lesson and make students think about the extreme consequences of a sedentary lifestyle. This clip will grab the students' attention and make them want to get physical activity. The students also will be writing in a blog, where they will reflect on their fitness levels upon completion of the Web Quest.

Absent Students: If students are absent, they are responsible for coming to me and arranging a time to make-up this assignment. The student may complete the Web Quest at home, if a computer is available. If this is the case, then they must come see me to discuss the handout. A more desirable solution would be to come see me during a prep period or after school. This way, the student can make up the work and ask me if they have any questions. Also, I will have adequate time to discuss nutrients with them.

Extensions: I will include Type II Technology by utilizing the Web Quest to analyze students’ fitness levels. This is an interactive way to learn about physical fitness, and gives each students individualized results.

• Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development. Rationale: This lesson meets different learning styles. It is organized, yet students work at their own pace as they complete the Web Quest assignment. They will learn more about their own fitness levels, and figure out how they can improve them. I will ensure that the environment is comfortable, and results can be kept private if the student chooses. The students will be encouraged to help each other with the WebQuest and navigating the laptops.

• Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory. Rationale: In this lesson the students will learn about why physical activity is so important. They will analyze their own fitness levels, and make plans to improve them. This is a skill that students will be able to use for the rest of their lives. They will understand why physical activity should be a priority. They will learn many terms that are associated with exercise. They will also learn about a wide variety of physical activities that they may not have previously known. This way, they can get excited about trying something new, and realize that exercise can be fun.

• Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs. Rationale: This lesson uses a variety of ways to teach students. The visual MI will be fulfilled through the viewing of my hook. Bodily-kinesthetic is met when the students get up and move around to form groups. Intrapersonal is met by students working individually to complete their Web Quests, while the interpersonal intelligence is fulfilled by the students talking in groups and helping each other with their Web Quests. Logical-mathematical will be met when students compare their fitness levels with other people their age.

• Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner. Rationale: This lesson uses different assessment strategies. Students will be assessed on their participation, reflection of their fitness levels, and completion of the Web Quest/blogs. The students will also be informally assessed through their participation in the class discussions and interactions with fellow students.

Teaching and Learning Sequence Agenda: -Attendance (5 minutes) -Watch video-hook (5 minutes) -Discussion (10 minutes) -Lecture (20 minutes) -Group brainstorming (5 minutes) -Record list on board (5 minutes) -Web Quest/Individual blogs (35 minutes)

My classroom will be arranged with the desks in a giant circle. When my students first come in to the class I will let them get settled and take out the materials that they will need. I will then introduce the lesson and tell them what we will be doing. After that, I will show my hook (obesity video). After the video I will ask students how they feel, and tell them how many people in America are obese. I will then present them with facts on obesity, and describe the importance of physical activity. I will teach them about how calories and metabolism relate, and why being in good shape is important. The students will then each get a laptop and sit back down at their seats. They will get to the "How Fit Are You?" Web Quest, and answer only the first two questions of project 1a. I will then count them off into groups of four, and have them get together with their groups. They will decide amongst themselves who will be the recorder, who will be the reporter, who will be the time-keeper, and who will lead their discussion. They will have ten minutes to discuss all of the types of physical activities they enjoy and how they can improve their fitness levels. When the ten minutes is up, the reporters will share with the class what their groups came up with. Another student will be recording a list on the board. The students will then go back to their seats and complete their Web Quests individually. They will blog their answers. Upon completion of the Web Quest and lesson, students will understand why physical activities are so important. They will know that they have to partake in physical activities in order to lead a healthy and happy lifestyle. They will realize that there are many different activities to do and everyone can improve on their personal fitness. They will also realize that everyone is at different fitness levels. What, Where, Why, Hook, Tailor: Visual, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Mathematical, Verbal, Intrapersonal, and Interpersonal

I will present the students will facts about obesity, physical fitness, and consequences of not getting enough exercise. This lesson will be presented in discussion style, so the students will be actively engaged in the conversation. Students will also learn a lot of information from the text on the Web Quest. I will check for student's understanding by reading their answers on their blogs, and I will give them feedback by commenting on all of their blogs. Equip, Tailor: Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal

The students will be in groups of four and either be the recorder, reporter, time-keeper, or leader. The students will assign these roles amongst themselves. They will get to brainstorm ways to get more fit before they go back to their desks and complete their Web Quests and blogs. Explore, Experience, Rethink, Revise, Tailor: Verbal, Interpersonal, and Bodily-Kinesthetic

Students will self assess their fitness levels and work to improve them. I will give them feedback on their blogs, and they will be able to go back and fix their blogs if they need to. This lesson connects with future lessons because it is about physical activity, fitness, and healthy choices. All of the lessons are about making healthy choices that will benefit them in the future. The blogs will come back into play in a future lesson about fad dieting. Evaluate, Tailor: Verbal, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal
