The student will work in a group and create a final presentation. || 4.3 Explain that nutritious food provide energy for physical activity. o Creativity o Communication and collaboration o Research || o Critical thinking, problem-solving, & decision-making o Technology operations and concepts || To enhance the awareness of the severity of obesity. How childhood obesity affects the community. How physical activity and nutritious foods can prevent obesity. The students will use the computer lab during their PE class time to do research, organize and put together their presentation about obesity and how to prevent it. || One Hour || Research about obesity Nutritious foods Outdoor Activity || Digital Camera/Photos Computer/Internet || In this assignment the students were allowed to group themselves as long as there are 2 females in each group and no more that 5 student’s total. The students may have to use the computer lab after school to utilize resources on the internet if they do not have a computer at home to complete their potion on the project.

Each day the students will fill out a “where we are” check list in the first six minutes of the project time frame of the class. Create a visual model (completed example) scaffold with interactive component that is broken down in simple terms. This gives the students who are visual, kinesthetic, spatial and intrapersonal an example of how to create their own. Create a rubric on rubistar.4teachers.org with specific objectives and tasks for the individual and for the group. This rubric will outline the work that needs to be done to clarify how to earn the grade.

o Creativity and innovation o Communication and collaboration o Research and information fluency || o Critical thinking, problem-solving, & decision-making o Digital citizenship o Technology operations and concepts || The students are going to eat a well balanced breakfast for 3 days in the middle of the week. Then they are going to keep track of three important things how they feel energy alertness and concentration. To uncover the importance of how food affects our energy for alertness and mental focus. Create a voice thread that demonstrates communication and collaboration.
 * Instructional objective(s): **

Voice Thread inspires creativity by allowing the students to import pictures from the internet, to draw by hand and up load their own as well as scanning pictures too. Request the computer lab for two days (T/TH) a week for the next two weeks from 11:00- 12:00. || Tuesday Thursday || Instructional Demo for Voice Thread Eating a well balanced diet for Tues/Wed/Thur prior to class || The computer The internet Voice thread || One gifted, one low performing and two average students in a group The students can collaborate on their voice thread project by using the class blog to discuss during and outside of class. They can make changes to the voice thread on their own time outside of the T/TH 11:00-12:00 class time. The students can monitor their project themselves and I can as well.

The students will continue to eat nutritious foods a few days a week and track their energy levels on the days they don’t and do adhere to the program. They can blog on our class website outside of class time to monitor the creation of the voice thread. Diverse learners will be able to utilize the tutorial that is audio as well as visual to help create the voice thread anytime to clarify if needed. The students can create a power point instead of a voice thread. The class has learned how to create power points earlier in the semester.

Grade: Fifth Grade || Unit: Nutrition || Description of the Lesson: The students will create a public service announcement that is related to what we have been learning over the past few weeks about nutrition, diet and exercise. One of the students will work on creating an account on teacher tube while the others brainstorm to create the script for the PSA. The PSA will be based on all the information the students have used in their voice thread, and power point. The students will gather information from the internet and activities that will prevent obesity. ||

o Creativity o Communication and collaboration o Research || o Critical thinking, problem-solving, & decision-making o Technology operations ||

The students are going to use a KWL chart and view my voice thread for basic information to go along with the research they have done on other projects. Then they are going to go to the computer lab 3 times a week for two weeks to create, shoot, and edit their PSA. As a final product the students will upload their PSA on to teacher tube after being approved. Creating this PSA will demonstrate creativity, critical thinking and technology operations. The PSA also demonstrates communication and collaboration.
 * Instructional objective(s): **

Request the computer lab for three days (M/W/F) a week for the next two weeks from 1:00- 2:00. Have one student in each group create a login and password for teacher tube. || Monday Wednesday Friday || View the voice thread and take notes in the KWL chart View an Instructional Demo for Teacher Tube || The computer The internet Teacher Tube KWL charts ||

The students will continue to gather information about obesity and how to prevent it. They will re-record any parts of their PSA that are unclear or inaccurate. They can blog on our class website outside of class time to monitor the creation and editing of their PSA. Diverse learners will be able to utilize the tutorial that is audio as well as visual to help create the PSA and the use of the site teacher tube anytime to clarify if needed. It is located on the home page of teacher tube. The students can load their findings on the voice thread website instead of on teacher tube. The class has learned how to create a voice thread earlier in the semester.
