We have so many questions to be answered! Attached is my inquiry based lesson, based on the question "Can we eat healthy at a fast food restaurant?"]]> 2016-12-02 21:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141516587 alyssaburnham2011 https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141517485 One of my favorite things about health, is there isn't usually a correct answer for health related issues across a population. Everyone's bodies and minds are unique. This poses problems without clear answers. Attached is a debate style lesson about physical education in schools. I present a problem, and let students constructively hash it out. ]]> 2016-12-02 21:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141517485 alyssaburnham2011 https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141517662 Working together means less work individually while being engaged with the lesson. What more could we ask for? Attached is my lesson plan on the components of physical fitness, using a jigsaw technique.]]> 2016-12-02 21:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141517662 alyssaburnham2011 https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141517902 What's more authentic than health, (I said to myself as I was declaring my major)? Attached below is a lesson I did on body image in the media. Students examine real advertisements and other content and share their thoughts, graffiti style.]]> 2016-12-02 21:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141517902 alyssaburnham2011 https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141525239 Learning through projects is a great way for students to make discoveries about healthy choices. Attached is a lesson plan I did for a project where students get to learn how to read a food label through a small, in-class project.]]> 2016-12-03 00:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141525239 alyssaburnham2011 https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141525408 I didn't realize that I have never created a service learning project before! There are opportunities available. I think I would have my students work along side a public health department, coming up with marketing and spreading the word in their school and community about a health issue close to them. ]]> 2016-12-03 00:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141525408 alyssaburnham2011 https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141525492 Constructivism is so easily applicable to my health content. Since health is already extremely relevant and applicable to every day life, it only makes sense to take a constructivist approach to my lessons. Students can work together, ask questions, complete projects, grapple with problems, and see how it all relates to them in the real world.]]> 2016-12-03 00:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssaburnham2011/p9kd3q5aw8ag/wish/141525492
