Final Project - Lesson Structure

Week 1:

• A picture collage of various foods and activities will be on a smart board.  If students see anything on the collage that they had for breakfast or activities they've participated in the past week, they can volunteer to go up to the smart board and circle the picture(s).

• The teacher will give a brief power point presentation about the different components of the food pyramid including grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, meat and beans, oils, fats and sugars, and exercise as mentioned in the content instruction section.  Limiting unhealthy and non-nutritious foods such as sugary cereal, bacon, cookies, chips, etc. as well as non-active activities such as watching television or playing video games will also be addressed.   

• The teacher will show a youtube video of various games and activities that promotes movement.  

• A picture of the new food pyramid along with the circled picture collage mentioned above, will be placed on a smart board.  As a class, we will drag the circled pictures of the different foods and activities into their place on the food pyramid.  The unhealthy and non-nutritious foods as well as non-active activities will also be addressed. 

• As a class, we will create a healthy breakfast, a healthy snack, and a healthy exercise routine for the day. A different picture collage of various foods and activities along with 2 empty plates and an empty box will be on a smartboard.  We will drag pictures from the picture collage onto the first empty plate to create a healthy breakfast, then to the second plate to create a healthy snack, and finally to the empty box to create a healthy exercise routine. 

• Each student will get a chance to create their own healthy breakfast, snack, or exercise routine on the smart board.

Each week:

• Each week as a class, we will compile a list on the smart board of foods and activities that students had for breakfast, for snack, and for activities they have participated in.

• Students will take turn going to the smart board and drag the items into their proper place on the food pyramid.

• The teacher will show a youtube video of a game that promotes movement that we can do as a class during recess or physical education time.
