 * Introduction **
 * Unit Title: ** Making Healthy Choices for a Healthier Life
 * Unit Focus: **
 * Topic and key concepts: ** Health and Nutrition
 * Summary **: During this unit of study the students will learn about how making healthy choices can have a positive impact on their lives. To start the unit the students utilize an educational social network site called Twiducate to tweet me and their classmates everything they know about how to be healthy. Once the background knowledge has been established the students engage in several activities that build on what they already know and myths about being healthy. Some of those activities include, exploring the food groups, collecting data on balanced diets, creating a family meal on a budget, and creating a persuasive commercial. The commercial will be used as the summative assessment.

<span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Making a healthy decision about your food intake can have a lifelong impact on your life. It is important to understand the five food groups and how to select foods to create a balanced diet. Because most of us are on the go choosing the right snacks to eat in between meals is important. There are many resources available to help educate us on creating healthy diets. This unit of study has been designed to help students become aware of how to make those healthy choices and where to go for resources.

Each section represents one of the food groups. Using the internet, students will identify the five sections. Lastly, the students will identify items associated with the different food groups and add that to the plate.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Learner Directions **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Start the lesson by putting the students in groups. <span style="color: #92d050; font-family: 'agency fb','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">The students will be group them based on one of their similarities. <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Each group will receive a variety of pretend play foods and sticky notes. Ask the students to categorize the foods any way that they like, but they must label each category with a sticky note.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Introduce the USDA Food Plate/Pyramid to the students and have them compare their categories with the USDA.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Give the students an empty plate that is divided into 5 groups. Each section of the plate represents one of the five food groups.

The students will have the opportunity to go to another third grade class to survey their peers on their questions. After collecting the data, students will organize and create graphs to display the results.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Learner Directions **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will start the lesson by gaining background knowledge on eating habits.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Using the designated websites students should answer the following questions:

 * <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">After completing the three questions, students should decide on the questions for the survey that deal with eating habits.
 * <span style="color: #92d050; font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Prior to students going over to another third grade class, I will ask the classroom teachers to go over some general rules of engagement so the students feel comfortable asking their survey questions.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will go over to another third grade class and to present their survey questions
 * <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">The students will bring the data back to their group members and begin organizing and a creating graph to display the results.

Utilizing the KWHL model K( What I Know), W(What I want to Learn), H( How I Learned), and L (What did I Learn) to organize our thinking.” For this first post you will Tweet me and your class everything that you know about how to be healthy. This will take care of the K in the model.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Have Q and A sessions. Students can read each other’s post and make comments or ask questions.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Pass out a hard copy of the KWHL chart and have the students to complete the W portion of the chart.
