 * Name of Unit : ** Nutrition
 * Unit Description: ** Unit 3 Nutrition consists two chapters. Chapter 8 The Role of Diet in Health and Chapter 9 Making Healthy Food Choices. Chapter 8 is divided into four Lessons. Lesson 1 explains a Healthy Diet, Lesson 2 Carbohydrates, Fats and Proteins, Lesson 3 Vitamins, Minerals and Water and Lesson 4 Special Dietary Needs. Chapter 9 Making Healthy Food Choices consist of two lessons. Lesson 1 Healthy Eating Pattern and Food Choices, Lesson 2 Food Labels and Food Additives.

Chapter 8 Learning Goals: Chapter 9 Learning Goals:
 * Planning for the Beginning of an Instructional Unit **
 * • What learning goals will I present to students? **
 * To describe the effect of healthy eating on the body
 * To explain how food provides calories and nutrients
 * To explain the importance of the six essential nutrients and which foods contain them
 * To identify special dietary needs
 * To predict how diet relates to some diseases
 * To identify healthy eating patterns

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">To explain how to read food labels in order to make healthy food choices
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">To explain the purpose of food additives

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">At the beginning of each chapter I will use the Elmo and computer to type in the goals for learning. I will read them and type them in Microsoft Word. I will also type out each lesson’s objectives and discuss with students.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">• How will I display these goals so that they are clearly evident throughout the unit? **

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We w <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">ill review goals and objectives that apply at the beginning of each lesson. Goals and Objectives are printed and a copy given to each student. They will be shown on the overhead projector at the beginning of class. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">(This classroom is shared by other teachers and I teach other subjects.)
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">• How will I provide guidance for students as they generate their own learning goals? **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">At the beginning of each unit students are asked to skim through the unit chapter and think about what they know and want to know more about. They answer pre-assessment questions to generate their knowledge on the unit’s subject. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Each student will write out a goal they think they need to learn. They will state to the class as I type this on our chapter goal sheet with their name next to their goal. This is done one chapter at a time.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">• How will students display these goals so that they are evident throughout the unit? **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students have a folder in which they keep a copy of the chapter learning goals/objectives and the goal they wanted to learn more about. We review them at the beginning of each lesson. Goals and objectives for this unit are posted on the class Netvibes Start Page.

 * **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Pre test A for each chapter is given with results provided to each student with correct answers discussed. **
 * **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Introductory questions to ask and discuss about each lesson. **
 * **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Skimming chapter before we read and discuss. **


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">• What activities will I use to help provide students with advanced organizers for new knowledge? **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students are given guided notes to fill in as we read the chapters and discuss together. Vocabulary words are given and reviewed for each lesson. Vocabulary quiz link is provided on the class Netvibes Start Page for this unit. They are given lesson worksheets to complete. Students complete lesson review questions at the end of each lesson and discuss as a group after completion.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">• What activities will I use to help students make inferences about new knowledge? **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">A pre assessment of questions about the unit is given to each student before and after the lessons is taught. A pre test is given before the chapter is taught. It is reviewed with students. Students are ask questions related to the lesson and ask to participate in answering what they know about the topic being discussed throughout the lessons.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Guided notes – fill-in-the-blanks handout is provided and answers given at the end of the chapter. PowerPoint chapter summary is posted on class Netvibes Start Page. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lesson review questions are answered independently and then discussed and answered as a group. Students have a spiral notebook provided in which they keep notes and lesson/chapter reviews. At the end of each chapter there are chapter summaries and chapter review questions for students to complete.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">• What will I do to help students take notes about the new knowledge? **

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will document what they eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. They can create a chart with words and or pictures. They will chart for at least five days. They can create it in a PowerPoint or on paper. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will design a meal plan for breakfast, lunch or dinner for a week. They are to follow the food pyramid recommendations. They design how they want to develop their meal plan book/documentation. Examples: PowerPoint, Pictures pasted or drawings.

They will work in groups of two to discuss meal plan ideas. When we do brainstorming activities they will work in groups of two and share ideas about lessons discussed.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Group discussion on similarities and differences will be written on paper displayed on overhead using Elmo together. This is a difficult higher order thinking skill for the special education students in this group. Students will get a post-it note to list their ideas on how we eat differently from each other. I will give them guided questions to compare how things in the chapters are alike or different.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">• What will I do to help students identify similarities and differences relative to the new knowledge? **
 * <span style="font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Compare/contrast a healthy diet to a poor diet.

Several students are enrolled in a Learning Lab class that is designed to give them support with their homework. They may also use this class to complete work. Students will need to ask parents or research online several meal ideas and recipes for meal planning project.
