 * Learning Experience:**

__//Introduction: 15 minutes//__ Whole Class: Students will be shown a brief Sesame Street video on healthy foods ( [|Sesame Street: Healthy Foods] ) and given their handouts with details of their tasks, assessment rubrics and assigned groups, followed by a brief explanation of the task to be completed (10 minutes). - Students will develop a healthy eating and exercise regime over one week for year 8 students using Inspiration to brainstorm their ideas, constructing a pamphlet about their program with Microsoft Publisher. - Each exercise program should be no less than 30 minutes per day.

Groups of 3 or 4: Students will be required to brainstorm ideas about healthy eating and exercise using Inspiration. Students will need to show their brainstorms and ideas to the teacher before commencing their internet research to ensure all students are on task. All brainstorm work will need to be uploaded to the public drive for the teacher to view (5 minutes). - Teacher to circulate class and ensure all students are working together equally. Questions to ask:
 * What kind of foods are considered healthy? Why?
 * What do you know about the food pyramid?
 * What are some ideas for warm up exercises?
 * What are some simple activities you could include in your program? i.e. Skipping

//__Body: 10 minutes__// Whole class: Students will watch a 2 minute video about the new developed food pyramid ([|My Pyramid]) and engage in a discussion about the food pyramid, some ideas for exercise regimes used for year 8 students in schools and some ideas for healthy eating programs. Ideas and discussion points will be documented by the teacher on the board for the class to refer to during the lesson. - Students will have copies of the "old" and "new" pyramids on their handouts: compare and contrast as a class - Teacher to use prompting to suggest new ideas for exercise programs: Zumba? Aerobics? Warm-up routines?



__//Activities & Tasks: 30 minutes//__ Groups of 3 or 4: Students will use the internet to conduct their research and search for pictures, ideas and programs which they will need to include in their pamphlets. All research documents and pictures need to be saved onto their individual USB's so they may access their information the following lesson when constructing their pamphlets. - Websites students may like to view:
 * Mypyramid.gov
 * www.heartfoundation.org.au

Teachers will need to circulate each group to ensure all students are on task and encourage them to start considering the types of layout and what programs they may start creating for their "Heathy eating and active lifestyles" pamphlet.

__//Conclusion: 5 minutes//__ Whole class: Teacher will remind students to save their work to their individual USB's and make sure all Inspiration brainstorms have been uploaded to the public drive. Students will be reminded to continue their online research as homework and save any images or information they may find at home onto their USB's. - My Computer > Public Server > Create a file: Name_Name


 * Proposed Assessment Strategies:**
 * Monitor classroom discussions and students individual responses to questioning and working in groups (formative)
 * View each groups brainstorms on Inspiration and provide feedback which they will be able to access the following lesson via the public drive (formative)

//__Curriculum Considerations:__//
 * Reflection/Evaluation of Children's learning experience:**
 * Have the students understood and achieved the lesson outcomes?
 * Have the students submitted their Inspiration brainstorms via the public drive?
 * Were the objectives appropriate for the students? Were they too overwhelming?

//__Pedagogical Considerations:__//
 * Do students work well in groups of 3 or 4?
 * Does each student get an equal opportunity to access the software or does working in groups hinder individual learning styles?
