Opening (activator/instant activity)


Agree or Disagree: Students will be asked a series of the following questions and if they agree
with the statement then they go to one side of the room, and if they disagree with the statement
they go to the other side of the room. This is more of a baseline activity on the nutrition to see
where their opinions are at and their baseline of knowledge about nutrition overall and what they
think about different things they have heard or been exposed to.

Procedures Step by step description of teaching


strategies/methods/pedagogy to be used. (Include time frame for each activity,
transitions, extensions/adaptations, cooperative learning techniques jig saw,
pair/share, etc.)
1. Agree or Disagree: Students will be asked a series of the following questions and if they
agree with the statement then they go to one side of the room, and if they disagree with
the statement they go to the other side of the room. This is more of a baseline activity on
the nutrition to see where their opinions are at and their baseline of knowledge about
nutrition overall and what they think about different things they have heard or been
exposed to.
a. This should take about the first 10-15 minutes of class and the students are
expected to go where they feel they should go for each statement, not following
the crowd. This is all opinion based and there is no right or wrong answers. The
statements are as follows:
i. Half of your plate should consist of fruits and vegetables
ii. Peanut butter is a good source of protein
iii. You should get about 60 minutes of moderate exercise per day
iv. Fruits are the most important food group
v. Fats are still an important part of a balanced diet
vi. Half of the grains you eat should be whole
vii. There are 5 different food categories in MyPlate
viii. French fries are a vegetable
ix. Pizza is a good balanced meal
x. Ability to read food labels is important
xi. I ALWAYS eat a well balanced meal
xii. Every day I eat fruits and vegetables
xiii. I get the proper amount of exercise every day
xiv. It is okay to sometimes eat junk-food
xv. Fats are an important nutrient
2. My Plate: Students will be introduced to my plate and we are going to go through all of
the food groups as well as decide what foods are good sources of each nutrient. I will
then show them different examples of food and they are to decide which is a better source
of that particular food groups nutrients. I will go through and each student will have a
blank copy of myplate. They will be asked to go through each food group and write
down what they think is A food they would include in this category.
a. This should take about the next 15 minutes and we will go over all of the foods
and then go more in depth into two different options in each food group and they
are to choose which one is the healthier option.
3. Exit Slip: Students will be filling out a short informal exit slip and they will be asked to
write down what they think they know about nutrition, what they want to know about
nutrition, and what they have learned about nutrition over the next few days of the short
unit.
a. This should take the last 2/3 minutes of class for them to write these three things
down and it gives me more of a basis to go over for the next few days.

List Assessment(s) informal or formal how do you know they have learned
the desired content and you have achieved your objectives?

Closure/Summarizer
Exit Slip: Students will be filling out a short informal exit slip and they will be asked to write
down what they think they know about nutrition, what they want to know about nutrition, and
what they have learned about nutrition over the next few days of the short unit. This should take
the last 2/3 minutes of class for them to write these three things down and it gives me more of a
basis to go over for the next few days.

Notes/Reflection (to be completed right after you finish teaching a particular


lesson) What did you accomplish? How much did the students learn? What
would you leave the same and what might you change in the future to improve
this lesson?
