Black Hills State University: Planning for a Lesson

Foundational Elements (essential features of all lesson plans)

Lesson Title:

 Understanding Obesity - Visual Aids

Subject/Content Focus and Grade Band: (unit title; unit focus)

 Unit Title: Personal Wellness

 Unit Focus: Obesity
 Content Areas: Health and English Language Arts

Standards: (state, Common Core, and/or other; performance indicators/skills)

 English Language Arts:

o 5.SL.2 Summarize text or information presented in diverse media and formats,
including visually, quantitively and orally.
 Health:
o NHES 1: Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and
disease prevention to enhance health.
 1.5.4 Describe ways to prevent common childhood injuries and health
problems.
 Technology:
o 5.ET.DC.3: Students demonstrate and promote respect for using and sharing the
intellectual property of others and themselves.
 5.ET.DC.3.2: Use digital tools to properly cite digital sources when
gathering relevant information.

Learning Objectives: (learning outcome; learning target; learning focus; IEP goals/skills
addressed):

 Health Standard: Students will identify 3-5 ways to prevent obesity in adolescence and
provide 1 resource that explains the relationship between obesity and personal health
behavior.
 Technology Standard: Students will show how to prepare correct citations by using a
citation generator.

Assessment/Evaluation: (types of assessments used throughout the lesson: formative,

summative, other; description of how student learning will be evaluated)

 Formal: At the end of class one, students will be given a half sheet of paper that asks
them to write down three facts that they remember, three things they learned, or
comments/questions they may have.
 Formal: Teacher will observe, and ask questions to, students during work time to check
for understanding of the topic and the assigned task.
  Summative: Students will be expected to hand in the visual aid made. This should
include a definition of obesity, personal wellness, three to five examples of ways to
prevent obesity, and a resource describing the relationship between obesity and
personal health.
Lesson Structure, Learning Activities, and Instructional Strategies: (step-by-step plans and time
allotted for each step, including introduction, learning activities, and close/reflection/debrief;
lessons may follow different structures such as Three-Phases of a Problem-Based Lesson, Five Es
of 3D Science, Gradual Release of Responsibility, Direct Instruction/Teaching, or other
structures/learning models)

This lesson will take two days to complete.

Day One:

 Introduction (15 minutes): Teacher will write the word “obesity” on the SMART board in
the classroom. Students has anyone ever heard this word (while teacher points at the
board)? If you have heard it, do you think you know what it means or when the word is
used?
o Students will share what they know by coming up to the board and slowly
creating a web map.
o After each student has a chance to write their answer on the board, the class
will go into a teacher-led group discussion, reviewing answers and talking about
how obesity can affect a person’s health.
 Guided Instruction (10 minutes): Students will be given a piece of scratch paper. On this
sheet of paper, students will be expected to make a list of healthy habits (i.e., getting
exercise, getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, etc.).
 Cooperative Learning (5 minutes): Students have created their lists, so they will be asked
to find a partner and share their answers.
 Instruction (10 minutes): After partners, students will move into small group discussion,
and then move into another whole class discussion to see the differentiation between
answers.
 Checking for Understanding (5 minutes): Before leaving the room, students will be given
an exit slip. On this slip, students will be asked to identify three to five new things that
they learned for that day or comments/questions they may have.

Day Two:

 Instruction (5 minutes): Students and teacher will review what was learned the previous
class – what obesity is and healthy habits that can help prevent it. After review, students
will be partnered at random (students may work in a group of three if there is an
uneven number).
 Guided Practice (25 minutes): Students will use laptops and educational websites to
gather facts about obesity and healthy habits that will prevent it. Students will be asked
to take notes and organize their information clearly to be put into a visual aid. Students
will chose between hand-making a poster or making a flyer on their laptops. Students
will also be asked to use the given citation machine to cite their sources.
  Instruction (5 minutes): Teacher will remind students of the criteria that must be met on
the poster/flyer that they have created. Students will be asked to show understanding
by giving a brief description of personal health, explaining obesity in their own words,
explaining three ways to increase personal health and one helpful resource.
 Guided Practice (5 minutes): Students will finish up their posters – add any final touches.
 Instruction (10 minutes): Once students are finished, each pair/group will be asked to
share their posters/flyers, along with their findings, with the class.

Building Elements (additional elements that are meant to be adapted and used/not used relative to
specific grade bands, content areas of study, and/or lesson plans and units)

Learner Characteristics: (# of students; gender; IEP information)

 15 students (5 boy and 10 girls)

Instructional Set-Up (classroom layout; learner habitat)

Resources, Materials, and Equipment: (list or include essentials to complete the lesson)

 Art supplies for posters

 Citation Machine®: APA Format & APA Citation Generator
 Colored paper for posters
 Computers/tablets
 Exit slips for Day One
 Pencils
 Scratch paper for each student
 SMART board

Essential Questions: (vital questions that propel students through the learning experience;
questions that prompt exploration and open discovery):

 Is exercise important in personal health?

 What is the definition of obesity or being overweight?
 Who does obesity affect?
 How can obesity/being overweight be prevented?
 What are resources that people may find useful when needing information on obesity or
healthy practices?

Key Vocabulary: (terms, concepts, and/or events):

 Obesity
 Personal Wellness
 Citation
 Credible

Prior Knowledge/Skills Needed for Lesson: (essential knowledge and skills needed by students
to effectively participate in the learning activities)
  Students will need to know how to effectively research any given topic. With this,
students should have the knowledge to spot a credible versus an unreliable source.
 Students should also be able to know and understand how to use the citation generator
website given to them by the teacher.
 Students should have a brief understanding of obesity and personal wellness from
previous lessons/discussions.

Technology: (tools used by students and/or tools used by teacher)

 Students will be using tablets or computers to conduct their research.

 Students will use the given citation machine to create citations for the information that
they have found.
 Teachers and students will be collaborating and using the SMART board for group
discussion during the introduction of this lesson, along with any review time.

Equity and Accessibility: (universal design for learning features; culturally responsive teaching
characteristics)

Differentiation: (accommodations; modifications; increase in rigor)

 If needed, the teacher will choose student pairings to ensure that all students are
working equally on the assignment. Students may also need to use hard-copy
books/resources, instead of using a piece of technology, so there will be options to do
so.
 If students are on an IEP or are considered ELLs, there will be a visual aid given to
students explaining the steps of how they should complete the given assignments.
 Specifically for ELL students, they would be assigned with a partner or put into a small
group as this will help promote communication and the use of academic vocabulary.

Follow-up Activity/Homework/Extension: (further activity around the aims of a lesson;

additional or different forms of practice to deepen learning or practice skills)

 Time will be allotted for students to complete this project in class. It should only take
the students the two days to review obesity and create their posters. If students need
more time than allotted, instructor will allow for students to take visual aids home to
complete.
