Resumen de la unidad
Due to the rushed life we live, eating properly has almost become a privilege. It has got to a point where it is
thought, mostly by the elders, that the younger generations are not eating well. Therefore, it is crucial not only
to inform students about nourishing but also to create a social awareness on how important it is to eat well. To
accomplish this, students will inform themselves to then pass it on others. They will elaborate a PowerPoint
presentation as well as a Montage. Students will also develop teamwork skills by designating roles within
work groups. Finally, they will be assessed through the use of rubrics along with an objective test.

After watching the video about the food pyramid, comment your ideas
with your classmates about what the food pyramid is.

Individually, write down a paragraph describing the food pyramid. Share
using OneNote http://1drv.ms/RYZ6Eg. Here is a tutorial on how to

Once they have finished their paragraphs, using the color technique, they
will gather in groups to consolidate their main points on the topic the
food pyramid.

Note: students will make groups of four. Each student will have a

At last, they will elaborate a PowerPoint presentation based on their
consolidated paragraphs about the food pyramid to show to the rest of the
class.
