SPECIFY PROBLEM: Today we are going to learn about a balanced diet. We will identify the five food groups that make a meal to be balanced and develop a menu incorporating the five food groups. We will do internet search on importance of eating a balanced diet. Then we shall draft a personal food guide pyramid and finally use the computer to come up with a presentation of two common balanced menus. RESULTS PRESENTATION: Students will write an explanation about the importance of eating a balanced diet. Do presentations to the class about the menus chosen. The menus must have five food groups identified and the reason why the food group is important. LESSON PLAN 4 MULTIDIMENSIONAL ACTIVITIES: LESSON INTRODUCTION – Briefly describe how you will introduce the problem and how you will address any prerequisite skills, share learning objectives, and provide needed information. This lesson activity is designed to teach students about a balanced diet. 1. I will ask if students know what a balanced diet is and share out the foods they have been eating. I will use their examples to define the term balanced diet and develop the five food groups that make a balanced diet. 2. Students will carry out internet search on importance of eating a balanced diet. They will note down the information found and we will have a discussion about importance of eating a balanced diet. 3. I will ask students if they have ever ordered a menu and how they ended up choosing what foods to eat. I will pass around different sample menus and let them identify food groups represented. Students will then develop a menu incorporating the five food groups. 4. Divide them into small groups to use the computer to come up with a presentation of two common balanced menus. Students will create a summary to support their findings about the created menus. LESSON PLAN 5 COMPUTER ACTIVITIES: Activity 1- Activities to be completed: Prior to going to computer 1.

Conclude the lesson by highlighting key features. ROTATION PLAN: Briefly describe how students will rotate through the computer and supporting activities. I will divide the computer activities into two sessions, each session will be 20 minutes. The first session will work on the computers individually while the second session will be LESSON PLAN 7 in groups discussing similarities among the diets, to guide them in developing the two menus. When they are through, they will exchange so that the second session can access the computers while the first session start working on their group discussion. These activities will also help them complete the “think sheet”. ASSESSMENT: Rubric Template. Place performance objectives in the first column, then create descriptions of each level of performance.
