If you were to visit our classroom, heres an example of what you may see:
Students are learning health concepts related to disease, both what it is scientifically and
how to avoid being sick. They will present what they have learned to the class.
Chaz and Emilio both have a cold, and decide they are interested in how they got sick
and how to prevent this in the future. They decide to team up as partners and research
the common cold. They are reading and taking notes from their textbook, as well as
online resources. They decide to create a model showing how germs enter the body.
They are in one corner of the room practicing their presentation to be given to the class.
Thalia doesnt particularly like talking in front of the whole group, although she does like
writing. She has a good friend with diabetes and wants to know more about it. At one
point, she visits the school nurse and interviews her about the subject. She is going to
create a PowerPoint to show what she has learned, and record a narration to go over
the slides. The teacher will upload her project to Blackboard so students can watch and
listen to it on headphones.
Beck and Cindy are both sports fanatics. They are interested in what diseases are
common in professional sports players. They decide to research concussions. They create
a poster that shows the proper ways and improper ways to perform certain football and
soccer moves. Along with presenting the information,
they plan a demonstration as well, and practice the
moves on the playground at recess.
