Lesson+THREE

**Learning Area Outcome:** Information and Communication Technology Health and Physical Education

==== **Topic:** Healthy Eating and Active Lifestyles  ==== ==== **Date:** 30th April 2011 **Time:** 11:00am **Year/Class No:** 8 ====

At the conclusion of this lesson each student will be able to:
 * Intended Learning Outcomes of this Session:**


 * 1) **//Identify the food pyramid and healthy food sources.//**
 * 2) **//Identify healthy exercise regimes and fitness programs.//**
 * 3) **//Construct a one week health and exercise program for year 8 students using Microsoft Publisher and present it to the class.//**


 * Students’ Prior Knowledge:**

· Surf the internet, gather, collect, retrieve and save information and images to files and folders. · Use search engines i.e. Google or Yahoo to search for information. · Save a document to a file or folder. · Basic word processing skills. · Use Microsoft Publisher templates.


 * Learning Experience:**

__//Introduction: 5 minutes//__ Whole Class: Students will be given feedback on how their pamphlets look so far and engage in a revision discussion on some of the healthy foods and exercise routines to be included in their pamphlets (5 minutes).
 * Briefly refresh students' memories on the food pyramids and exercise routines discussed in the prior lesson.
 * Provide general feedback on how the pamphlets appear to be so far and include any reminders or hints i.e. All exercise routines should be no less than 30 minutes per day!
 * Have students considered healthy alternatives for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks?



__//Activities & Tasks: 40 minutes//__ Groups of 3 or 4: Students will have time to complete their programs and pamphlets and add any finishing touches. Teachers will need to circulate each group to ensure all students are on task and finalising their pamphlets (25 minutes).
 * Monitor group work and check each student is contributing to group work and discussions.

Whole class: Each group will need to present their program and pamphlet to the class for feedback and comments (15 minutes).
 * Monitor individual student contributions to the presentations and feedback.



__//Conclusion: 5 minutes//__ Whole class: Teachers will need to remind students that their pamphlets need to be saved to their folders on the public drive on My Computer for marking and that copies should also be saved to their individual USB's.
 * Students will be given a group mark for their work based on the marking rubric.
 * Each student will receive individual anecdotal comments based on their contribution in class over the past three lessons.


 * Proposed Assessment Strategies:**
 * Monitor classroom discussions and students individual responses to questioning and working in groups (formative)
 * View each groups presentation (formative)
 * View each groups program and pamphlets submitted via the public drive (summative)

//__Curriculum Considerations:__//
 * Reflection/Evaluation of Children's learning experience:**
 * Have the students understood and achieved the lesson outcomes?
 * Have the students submitted a one week program in the form of a pamphlet constructed using Microsoft Publisher?
 * Were the objectives appropriate for the students? Were they too overwhelming?

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