Presentation

By: Chris Stahl

 Intro/Overview
• Nutrition and Physical activity (9th graders)
• Students will keep track of their nutrition and
physical activity for a week through a log.
• Standards, learning targets, student template,
and rubric have been modified to be student
friendly.
 Standards
Initial Standard: All students will acquire health
promotion concepts and skills to support a healthy,
active lifestyle.
Modified Standard: Students will develop the
necessary knowledge and skills to make nutritious
food choices that are healthy and contribute to
overall wellness. Students will keep track of what
they eat, their liquid intake, and the amount/type of
physical activity in a log provided to them for a
week.
 Targets
• Unit Plan Objective: Students will learn how to track
their diet and physical activity effectively. Along with
that they will analyze and make changes accordingly
to their eating habits and/or physical activity.
• Daily Instructional Objective: Students will learn
about smart decision making when it comes to
nutrition along with an active lifestyle. They will also
work to make sure the log is filled out completely
everyday and note one thing they can do to improve
their overall health every day.
 Student Friendly Template
Student Goal: The student will learn how to track their diet and their physical
activity. Also, students will be able to analyze and make changes accordingly to
how they eat or stay active.
Student Role: Students are tracking and evaluating their personal diet and fitness
through the log provided to them.
Student Audience: Students, peers, and teacher.
Student Procedure: Students need to keep track of everything they eat, drink, and
how active they are in order to assess their personal health and make changes
accordingly.
Student Product/Performance:
Logs- Students can keep one or two logs (one for diet and one for activity) and
keep track of everything that pertains to diet or physical activity for the whole
week.
Analysis- Students will be able to see if they are meeting the necessary standards
for nutrition (USDA) and physical activity. Students will present what they can
do to improve their overall health according to the logs used for the week.

 Assessment Critique
• Students will be main users of the information
• Formative assessment
• Assessed on ability to track diet and physical
activity in log and ability to improve overall
health according to the log
• Assessment methods look to build upon the
learning targets provided to students.
Understanding can be used in a context outside
the classroom
 Assessment Critique (cont’d)
• Assessment results can be used to emphasize
instruction points or realize areas that may
need reinforcement.
• Shows areas of strength along with areas that
need improvement
• Assessment works to meet needs of students.
• Allows students to be independent and in the
“driver’s seat of their own learning.
 Summary
• Students will show an understanding of how
to improve their overall health through
improved diet and the right amount of
exercise on a weekly basis.
• Important to make language student friendly
in order to help avoid confusion.
• Students will be allowed to present their
results and information in various ways.
