The teacher will present three vocabulary words or content
specific terms to the students and help them unlock the words
using context clues. The students will choose their answer from
the given choices.

Orange juice is Lisa’s favorite thirst-quencher. She always

drinks it whenever she wants something to drink. Her mother buys
the drink every time she goes to the market. When she drinks the
juice, Lisa becomes energetic and active. It is because the drink
contains nutrients that provide many benefits. But, mother does not
allow her to drink it every day because it also contains lots of
calories. Though it gives energy, too much of it will result to weight
gain and having an unbalanced diet.

B. During the Lesson

1. Presentation
The teacher will give an informative text that the students will
read. After reading, the students will answer the questions of
the teacher.

Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical activity exercise,
and has a healthy weight. If you're fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the
things you want to do, like run around with your friends.
Here are five rules to live by, if you're a kid who wants to be fit. The trick is to follow
these rules most of the time, knowing that some days (like your birthday) might call for
cake and ice cream.
Eat a Variety of Food
You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. If you eat different
food, you're more likely to get the nutrients your body needs. Taste new food and old ones
you haven't tried for awhile. Some food, such as green veggies, is more pleasing the older
you get. Have at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day – two fruits and three
vegetables.
Drink Water and Milk
When you're really thirsty, cold water is the best thirst-quencher. And there's a reason
your school cafeteria offers cartons of milk. Kids need calcium to build strong bones, and
milk is a great source of this mineral. How much do kids need? If you are younger than 9
years old, drink 2 cups of milk a day, or its equivalent. If you're older than 9 years old, aim
for 3 cups of milk per day, or its equivalent. You can mix it up by having milk and some
other calcium-rich dairy foods.
You probably will want something other than milk or water once in a while, so it's OK to
have 100% juice, too. But try to limit sugary drinks, like sodas, juice cocktails, and fruit
punches. They contain a lot of sugar. Sugar just adds calories, not important nutrients.
Listen to Your Body
What does it feel like to be full? When you're eating, notice how your body feels and
when your stomach feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they
don't notice when they need to stop eating. Eating too much can make you feel
uncomfortable and, over a period of time, can lead to unhealthy weight gain.
Limit Screen Time
What's screen time? It's the amount of time you spend watching TV or DVDs, playing
video games (console systems or handheld games), and using the computer. The more time
you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time available for physical activities
such as
basketball, bike riding, and swimming. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen
time, not counting computer use related to school.
Be Active
One job you have as a kid – and it's a fun one – is that you get to figure out which
activities you like best. Not everyone loves baseball or soccer. Maybe your passion is
karate, or kick ball, or dancing. Ask your parents to help you do your favorite activities
regularly. Find ways to be active every day. You might even write down a list of fun stuff to
do, so you can refer to it when your mom or dad says it's time to stop watching TV or
playing computer games.
Parents are a big help of you want to be a fit kid. For instance, they can stock the
house with healthy foods and plan physical activities for the family. Tell your parents about
these five steps you want to take and maybe you can teach them a thing or two. If you're a
fit kid, why shouldn't you have a fit mom and a fit dad?
