Phase1- Lesson 3-Designing Instruction

The teacher will begin the lesson by having the students write in the health blog. The students will blog about what they remember from the previous lesson on the food pyramid. The students will also blog about behaviors they already know of to keep themselves healthy. The teacher will then lead a discussion about what the students wrote on their blogs. After the discussion the students will engage in an online activity that will recall some healthy foods to their memory. Once the students have completed their web activity, the teacher will present a PowerPoint presentation on healthy behaviors. During the presentation a youtube video is shown. After the PowerPoint presentation the teacher will hold another discussion about what the students learned. The students will then read and interactive article about germs. After the students have read the article they will answer follow up questions. After the students answer the follow up questions they will participate in a web activity about oral health. A small discussion will be held after they complete their activity. The students will then blog about what they have learned in their lesson. Once they have completed their blog, the students will participate in a final web activity about combining foods and nutritional health properties. Once the web activity is completed they will print out the results and turn it into their teacher for evaluation. This lesson is interactive and can meet many individual needs. The hands on activities will hold learners attention and the web activities can be adjusted into hard, medium and easy levels. Also, there are many visuals used as well as a video. This would help interpret the information for those who may not be able to understand it inside of text.
