LESSON PLAN # 3 (a) PJ

TITLE: NUTRITION: DESIGN A
MENU FOR CLASS EXCURSION
Location: Classroom, Gym, hallway
Equipment
Needed: Overhead projector, chart paper &
markers, Canada’s food guide / Length: 30 minutes
Expectations: Analyze personal eating habits in
a variety of situations (e.g. at home, in school, in restaurants) (Gr. 6)

FOCUS

Warm-up (5 min)
In 6 groups of 4 – 6, identify the 6 categories into which food can be sorted. Groups then report findings to the class which discusses information and finalizes the list. / Class brainstorms & “pools” knowledge.
Skill Development ( 15 min)
1. Graffeti: each group selects a category & in 90 seconds, lists examples of that food + recommended daily # of servings on posted chart paper. Groups rotate through all 6 stations. 2.Group returns to first station list and examines information recorded, crossing out
mis-information or repeated items through discussion. / group interaction and sharing of information to complete task.
One Step Further ( 5 min) Group Activity using the “Canada Food Guide.” Class designs a menu for class overnight excursion to pioneer camp. Each group selects one of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack- AM, PM, or evening. / Nutritious Low Fat
Foods Identified
Canada Food Guide Resource consulted
Cool Down ( 5 min)
Each group shares their “menu” with the class on the overhead. Class agrees with thumbs up/thumbs down signal. / Nutritious appealing
Low fat Meals
designed
Assessment/Evaluation
Teacher uses rubric for assessment of healthy eating: Create a Menu
Menu’s are printed & sent home as part of the parent information
package.
Adaptations Adapt to needs of individual students, i.e., opportunity to ensure dietary needs of all students considered. Peanut allergy would prohibit inclusion of any peanut products. / Foods and related categories correctly identified.
Some allergies are life threatening
