Introduction/ Abstract

The outcome of this unit is to “examine healthy behaviours and opportunities and begin to determine how these behaviours and opportunities may affect personal well-being”. Through meeting the indicators (all ten will be touched on in separate lessons) other aspects of comprehensive school health will be considered. A healthy physical environment will be provided and students will be introduced to how they can use this environment to maximize their own healthy decisions. Holistic learning will be considered and students will learn to create healthy habits in all four areas of holistic learning (spiritual, emotional, physical and mental). Student’s health literacies will be greatly expanded throughout this unit as they will be introduced to new vocabulary, ways of thinking and awareness of their own decisions and how to make healthier choices. Inquiry for healthy decision making is a big part of this unit and there will be a big focus on the traffic light model where students will learn to Stop (wonder and question), Think (investigate and interpret) and Do (engage and apply). Throughout this unit students will be learning about healthy habits, recognizing what they already do that is healthy and provide students with opportunities and tools to make changes and create healthier lifestyles. Students will see how their own choices affect others and how others can be used to help in their healthy choice making. This unit has been designed to be very hands on and engaging for students, using a number of different instructional strategies so that all types of learners can surpass and learn.

RationaleThe outcome USC1.1 embraces the whole child and whole school approach as it focuses

on personal well-being in many ways. This unit has been constructed so that students will learn

to develop health responsibility and awareness for themselves and others. With the big idea

centered on the “Stop, Think, Do” Traffic Light the students will become aware and in charge of

their ability to affect their healthy body. With an effective way of teaching the students decision

making and healthy choices, the students will know where to look for support and will evolve

into individuals that make well informed healthy decisions. This unit will create a deeper

understanding of health information and will help build toward inquiry and questioning for

deeper understanding in health as well as other subject areas.

Outcome and Indicators

Outcome: USC1.1 Examine healthy behaviours and opportunities and begin to determine how these behaviours and opportunities may affect personal well-being.

a. Use common and respectful language to talk about healthy behaviours (e.g., habits, choices, actions).

b. Communicate observations of what “healthy” and “unhealthy” looks like, sounds like, and feels like.

c. Ask questions and seek answers about healthy/unhealthy behaviours and opportunities.

d. Recognize that making healthy choices can be difficult at times.

e. Illustrate the importance of basic daily behaviours (e.g., washing hands, brushing teeth, eating fruits and vegetables, wearing sun screen and sun protective clothing, being physically active, playing, drinking water, respecting other living things) for good health.

f. Determine the daily healthy behaviours that can be performed individually and those that may need support (e.g., washing hands on own, applying sun screen with support, smudging with support).

g. Recognize daily opportunities for demonstrating healthy behaviours (e.g., drinking water as a thirst quencher, walking on the sidewalk, flossing teeth, helping others).

h. Discuss a variety of healthy behaviours over which one has control (e.g., brushing teeth, being active, engaging in quiet time, seeking shade).

i. Consider opportunities to access support for healthy behaviours (e.g., recess time provides opportunities to play and be physically active, a trusted peer walks with you to school which provides safety and friendship).

j. Examine factors influencing own healthy choices (e.g., allergies, cultural traditions, money, family habits, fear).

k. Illustrate how one can keep themselves healthy and how they can seek for support.

Big Ideas

This unit has a main focus on healthy decision making. A familiar tool used in grade one is the traffic light. Students are responsbile for their own decisions.

STOP, THINK & GO in this unit:Lesson 2: The Traffic light concept is introduced. The traffic light is related to asking questions

and seeking answers about making healthy choices.

Lesson 4: The Traffic light model will be reviewed. Students will put this model into action

during a class activity.

Lesson 5: The traffic light model will be refereed to once again. Students are encouraged to use

this model as they determine what healthy behaviors they need to seek support for.

Lesson 6: Relating the traffic light to daily healthy behaviors. Students are beginning to make

choices on their own by stopping, thinking and then doing.

Lesson 8 - The STOP THINK DO sign which will be on the wall will be referred to by the

teacher in this lesson and students will use this framework to explore and learn more about germs

and washing their hands. Through actively participating in the activity in this lesson the students

will gain the knowledge needed to make healthy decisions.

Lesson 9- The traffic light model is reviewed with the students. The students are once again

encouraged to use this model while making choices in their daily lives.

Lesson 10 - The STOP THINK DO sign will again be referred to by the teacher to reinforce this

way of thinking and to help student with decision making.

Lesson 13- The traffic light is referred to at the end of this unit. Students will be encouraged to

use this model as they encounter everyday healthy choices.

Interdisciplinary Connections

Many of the lessons in this unit bring in components of English Language Arts as the majority of the lessons involve students working on writing skills and reading skills. Specifically lessons one, two, three, five, eight, nine and ten have some form of ELA component in the form of writing. First Nations Studies has been incorporated into lessons two, three and six. Many of the lessons throughout this unit can be connected to Arts Ed and all three components of Arts Ed are covered including Music (lesson eight), Visual (lesson one, two, six, nine, eleven, twelve and thirteen), and Drama (lesson six). Science is touched on in lesson twelve and social is incorporated into lesson eleven. Lesson four can be connected to Phys. Ed if it is done in a gym or outdoors.

Broad Areas of Learning

This unit will focus on the area of lifelong learners. The unit engages students by providing hands on activities and topics that are directly related to the student’s lives. They are given the opportunity to see how their current decisions affect their health and how making better decisions can increase their well-being. Students are given several occasions to explore their own habits and develop and construct new ways to make better decisions by applying the knowledge they will be gaining about what is healthy and what is not. Students will be using a variety of ways to learn about being healthy through different activities ranging from brainstorming, to games, to group projects and experiments. The lessons in the unit cover a wide variety of content and touch on the different aspects of a healthy lifestyle. The unit makes reference to an indigenous way of knowing about other people in three lessons where the circle of courage is discussed as well as smudging and its relation to health. Inquiry will be used in this unit through some of the lessons as students are able to ask questions and explore their own way of making healthy decisions and where the opportunities for making these decisions may arise.

Essential Questions/Deeper UnderstandingThis unit includes specific essential questions that give students a deeper understanding of the topic of healthy behaviours. They are questions that students will be able to confidently answer at the end of the unit.

They are as follows: What does healthy look like? What are characteristics of healthy? How can I be healthy? How does being healthy or not affect me? What healthy choices do I make? When are there opportunities for me to make healthy choices? How do we fix the bad choices we make? Who can help you make healthy choices?

The question which formed the base for the unit and appeared in the majority of the lessons was ‘how can I be healthy?’ This was first looked at in lesson one as basic healthy vocabulary and a word wall are introduced here giving students the background knowledge they need to progress through the unit. The question ‘what does healthy look like?’ is explored in the majority of lessons and in particular in lesson number three when students will look at different ways to be healthy and different habits they have. The question ‘how does being healthy or not affect me?’ is questioned in lesson 10. This lesson sets out to show how performing unhealthy behaviours such as not washing hands correctly can result in sickness which affects everyone. The remaining four questions towards the end are all based on the idea of choices. This unit uses the ‘Think, stop, do’ numerous times to reinforce healthy decision making allowing students to make their own healthy choices. The traffic light is introduced in lesson two but is a major focus and reviewed throughout the unit. Lessons seven and twelve focus on the opportunities to make healthy choices and lesson twelve also touches upon helping students grasp the concept that not every choice they make will be healthy but it is how they deal with that bad choice that matters. Finally the last question ‘Who can help you make healthy choices?’ is looked at in lesson eleven as students begin to recognize who can give you support as you make those healthy choices. These questions are way of allowing the students to gain a deeper understanding of healthy behaviours through first recognizing what being healthy is and then giving students the opportunity to show how they can make their own choices with regards to being healthy. These questions also provide students with the ability to understand being healthy beyond school life and allow students to ask insightful meaningful questions.

Instructional Strategies

Throughout this unit a variety of instructional strategies are used, which provides opportunity for students with all different types of learning preferences to excel. Books/stories are used in several of the lessons to introduce new topics and open up ideas for questions. Compare and contrast strategies can be found in lesson ten and four, when comparing healthy and unhealthy choices and again in lesson six when comparing healthy behaviours which can be done by oneself or ones which require help from others. Role playing is used in lesson six. Brainstorming is used frequently and can be found in lesson one, five and eleven. Discussions, which can be both teacher lead and student lead, can be found in all the lessons in this unit. Cooperative learning groups (lessons eight and nine) and peer partner learning (lesson eight) are also used. Problem solving strategies are also used throughout the entire unit. surpass and learn.

Aboriginal Content and Perspective

The First Nations content from this unit can be found in lessons two, three and six.

Although this content may not be the focus it was included as an important way to focus on and

embrace the whole individual child and whole school approach on personal well-being.

Throughout various lessons and early in the unit the Circle of Courage and community circles

are explained with significance to both First Nations and this unit. It is incorporate and expanded

on as students learn their value, where to look for support and learn to evolve into independent

individuals that make well informed healthy decisions. Lastly it is presented to the class in a way

to notice their similarities with the First Nations and acknowledge their uniqueness for

differences like smudging ceremonies.

AssessmentAssessing students’ progress thought out this unit can be measured in many different forms. Assessment for each lesson is varied so that assessment practices benefit all different types of learners. Assessment practices:Exit slips- Students are sharing their knowledge of that particular lesson before they leave the classroom. Observation- observing students’ progress throughout discussions and activities. Marking assignments- Taking in student’s assignments to assess their progress and knowledge.Anecdotal notes- Picking a few students to focus on that particular day and taking notes on their progress.Check list- A list of things to observe of students’ progress. A way to know if students ‘can’ and ‘cannot’ do.

AdaptationsThroughout this unit each lesson plan has a distinct way in which it can be adapted. Adaptations will depend upon the students in the classroom and their needs and abilities. The type of adaptations are broken up as, students who are struggling, students who are advanced and students with disabilities.Students who are:Struggling: For students who are struggling with an assignment or activity their work can be adapted. It can be adapted through a teacher prompting, scribing and assisting. They can do less work or show their thoughts in a different way.Advanced: For students who are not challenged they can be challenged in different ways. They can be given a worksheet when they are finished, the teacher can prompt them, have them complete more than required or increase the difficulty of their assignment. Disabled: All of the lessons can be adapted to any students needs for the most part. In lesson #8 students are learning about the spread of germs through a visual hands on activity. The substance can have a texture so the students can feel the spread of germs if they are visually impaired.

Lesson Plan One

Topic: Introducing healthy behaviours

Grade: One Date: November 15, 2012

Description of Lesson: Students will be introduced to the topic of healthy behaviours and will participate in a discussion and brainstorming of what this means. New language regarding this topic will be introduced and added to a word wall (either an existing word wall or one created for this unit).

Outcome: Indicators: USC1.1 Examine healthy behaviours and opportunities and begin to determine how these behaviours and opportunities may affect personal well-being.

a. Use common and respectful language to talk about healthy behaviours (e.g., habits, choices, actions).

Materials/ Resources: - Book - Now I Know: Healthy Me by Melvin and Gilda Berger - Flip chart paper- Marker- Words for word wall (healthy, germs, choices, habits, wash, fruits, vegetables, exercise, water, respect, safe) and blank cards for any other words that come up in discussion to add.- Copy of good model questions (to reference) – see appendix below- One piece of paper per student (pencil crayons for each student) - www.pbs.org/parents/talkingwithkids/health/med_index_1.html - (for teacher reference, includes health terms with definitions)

Cross-Curricular Competencies: Developing Thinking: Think and learn contextually> Apply prior knowledge, experiences, and the ideas of self and others in new contexts

Prerequisite Learnings: None, as this will the introduction of a new topic.

Interdisciplinary Connections: This lesson incorporates English Language Arts as children will be introduced to new vocabulary. Art will also be incorporated when students have to create a drawing of their healthy behaviours.

Lesson Preparation: - Have some of the words for the word wall pre-made (healthy, germs, choices, habits, wash, fruits, vegetables, exercise, water, respect, safe)- Print off good model questions- collect book and paper

http://www.pbs.org/parents/talkingwithkids/health/med_index_1.html

Presentation:Set- Teacher will invite students to come sit down at reading area.- Teacher will show the students the book Now I Know: Healthy Me by Melvin and Gilda Berger and ask what they think it might be about.- Read the book Now I Know: Healthy Me

Management- Make sure students raise their hand when providing guess about book.

Time5-10 mins

Development- Tell students we are going to be learning about being healthy and healthy behaviours over the next few weeks.- Explain word wall to students and go over the new words that we will add to our word wall (or creating new word wall). This will get students thinking about what types of words are related to being healthy.- Ask students to explain some of the healthy behaviours they take part in daily or other words related to being healthy/healthy habits they can think of.- Jot down these ideas and important words on the chart paper. Continue brainstorming with the students for about 5 minutes (or until most students have had a chance to speak).- If there are words that come up frequently add them to the word wall.- Brain Break (have students stand up and follow teacher’s movements).- Read good model scenarios to students and have them determine whether the person being described is a good model for being healthy. Students can give thumbs up if they think it is a good model, or thumbs down for bad model (or to get students moving they can stand up for good and sit down for bad).- Send students back to their desk and have them get their pencil crayons out and give them a piece of paper.- Have them draw something they already do in their daily routine that is a healthy behaviour (10-15 mins). If student is able to they can try to write the words to describe their picture. Teacher can go around and scribe for children who cannot write.

- Use signal to get students attention if they are getting noisy or conversation is drifting.- Have students raise hand to give input.- Use brain break to refocus.- Walk around to encourage students to stay on task while creating drawings.

45 mins

Closure- Have students hand in their drawings.- On the way out (for recess or end of day) have students each state something they are going to do today that is a healthy behaviour.

- Students will be in line (quietly) ready to exit the classroom.

5 mins

Adaptations: Students who can not write during the activity can have teacher scribe for them explaining picture. Students who do not finish their drawing in the allotted time can take it home to finish and return the next day.

Assessment: Students will hand in their drawings and they will be assessed on whether they drew something related to a healthy habit and if they comprehend the topic and if they used any of the vocabulary that was introduced. When exiting the classroom they will each state one thing they are going to work on at home tonight that is a healthy choice, teacher will have a class list and check off if the student can or can not state a healthy habit.

Appendix for lesson one: Are these good models to follow?- Wash your hands after using a tissue- Play with a needle found in the playground- Sneeze in someone’s face- Get some exercise- Clean your hands after touching a pet- Wear mittens when it is cold outside- Share toys with friends- Touch a toy after you have coughed into your hand- Get help from the supervisor when someone gets hurt on the playground- Play with a sharp tool- Go to bed early- Share your toothbrush with friends- Wash your hands before eating- Play with garbage- Stay at home when you have a cold or the flu- Eat foods from each food group (vegetables and fruit, meat, milk products, grain products)- Wash your hands often when you have a cold

Lesson 2Name: Samantha Heebner Date: November 15, 2012 Subject: Health Grade: One

Description of Lesson: Throughout this lesson the students will experience questioning and making “I wonder”

statements. The students will learn how to make healthy decisions based on the “Stop, Think, Do” Traffic Light. Along with the teacher, the students will begin by forming a community circle in significance of First Nations culture and discuss a scenario to make “I wonder” statements/questions based on healthy and unhealthy behaviours. The students will then learn how to question whether something is healthy or not and do so following the Traffic Light. They

then will further their learning by demonstrating their understanding when making an “I wonder” statements/question about something from their personal life.

Topic:

The students will be asking questions to help make healthy decisions and choices about healthy and unhealthy behaviours.

Apply, evaluate, and respond to differing strategies for solving problems and making decisions

Connections to Other Areas of Study: First Nations Studies English Language Arts

Prerequisite Learning: Working knowledge of healthy and unhealthy behaviours

Materials/ Resources: “Stop, Think, Do” sheet printed for each students Larger print of the “Stop, Think, Do” sheet “I wonder” sheet printed for each student

Lesson Preparation:

All materials If not done already photo copy the “Stop, Think, Do” and “I wonder” sheet for all the

students

Differentiation (Adaptive Dimension): More advanced students can write out their own sentence on lined paper and then write a

second “I wonder” statement if still needing more work. Students who are struggling can demonstrate their understanding by drawing a picture of

something they wonder about. If a student finishes early they can draw a picture to accompany their “I wonder” statement.

Presentation:

Set (_15__ min) Start by gathering all the students into a community circle

and Explain the significance of the community circle to First

Nations: It’s an open environment where we respect the voice and opinion of the person who is talking.

Explain we will be passing a rock because it is sacred to First Nations as it is a part of the land. Remind the students with respecting others voice when we do talk we must also use respectful language (remind them of the word wall).

Tell the students we are going to continue talking about healthy and unhealthy behaviours. Tell the students a scenario will be read to them and as a class we are going to make “I wonder......” statements about the Scenario.

Read the students this Scenario:

Sunshine Sally who is 5 years old was playing outside of her house when Dangerous Dan who is 12 years old road by on his bike. Dangerous Dan was across the street without his helmet on when he dared Sunshine Sally to follow him. Sunshine Sally has never crossed a street by herself and has always wore her helmet when riding her bike.

Ask each student to make an “I wonder” statement as the rock is passed around.Ex. I wonder if Sunshine Sally will go and if she will wear her helmet.

Explain now that the rock is done being passed and we can all speak (remembering to raise our hands).

Student engagement/ Classroom management

Allowing each student time to wonder and share

Questioning and involving the students about making decisions.

If we are not sure if a behaviour is healthy or not who can we ask?

Have you ever tried to make a decision or answer a question on your own?

Does everyone always know the right answer?

Development (_ 15 _ min) Move the students back to their desks and ask:

Have you ever had to make a decision on your own?

Explain that decision making is something everyone has to do as they grow up.

Explain to the students how we can compare Decision Making to a Traffic Light (following the hand out):

Hand out the “Stop, Think, Do” sheet and with the larger print at the front of the room and have the students follow along as you read and explain it.

Explain to the students they can use the Traffic Light when making decisions for themselves and when they help others make decisions.

Closure (_15_ min) Explain to the students they will be writing one “I

wonder......” statements about their personal life they want to question.

Also let the students know that after they are handed in each day we will draw on sheet from the pile to try to answer as a class one students “I wonder” question.

Hand out the “I wonder” sheet to all students Write on the board:

“I wonder if ________________ is a healthy choice or unhealthy choice”

Brainstorm ideas on the board and then let the students fill in their sheets.

If the students finish early have write another “I wonder” sentence or have them color their Traffic Light sheet.

Remind the students to raise their hands before answering

Explain the Traffic Light slowly and make sure the students understand.

Walk around to make sure the students understand.

Remind them when they have about 10 minutes left.

Have the students begin to clean up when there is 5 minutes left.

Assessment:With the class list check off and give a mark out of 2 if each student submitted their question about their personal life and participated in the community circle:Ex)

Class List “I Wonder” Exit Slip – that poses a question.

Participated in circle asking an I wonder statement

Lesson 3Name: Samantha Heebner Date: November 15, 2012Subject: Health Grade: One

Description of Lesson: With the help of the story “Sorry!” by Norbert Landa and Tim Warnes the students will

learn to observe healthy and unhealthy behaviours. With guidance from the teacher, the students will communicate what healthy and what unhealthy behaviours are. What they look like, sound like and what they feel like for the characters. While following the story the students will also learn about the Circle of Courage and demonstrate their knowledge of healthy and unhealthy behaviours. They will also do this by looking at the four aspects of the circle (Belonging, Mastery, Independence and Generosity) and demonstrate their knowledge with a picture.

Topic: Instructional Strategies (Specific):

Materials/ Resources: The story “Sorry!” by Norbert Landa and Tim Warnes The Circle of Courage printed and laminated with main points to put on bulletin board Blank 81/2 by 11 paper for the pictures

Lesson Preparation: All materials Organized bulletin board with the laminated Circle of Courage and main points

Differentiation (Adaptive Dimension): More advanced students could challenge themselves to write a descriptive sentence about

their picture Students who are struggling can draw a picture of a healthy behaviour from the story without

the words. If a student finishes early they can work on another subject, clean up or colour until the end

of the period.

Presentation: This will take two class times.

Set (_15__ min)

To gain the student’s attentions begin by reading the story “Sorry!” By Norbert Landa and Tim Warnes

Engage the students by talking about healthy and unhealthy and what it looks like, sounds like and feels like. What did Bear and Rabbit disagree about that lead to

them fighting? Is fighting healthy or unhealthy? What did they do to resolve the fight? Was it healthy

or unhealthy? Is communication a healthy way of resolving fights? What made Bear and Rabbit’s home a healthy home? What did we see? What did we hear? How do you

think this made each other feel?(Be sure to discuss their commitment and appreciation for one another, how much time they spent together and the quality of time working together. Ex. “Rabbit was better at frying mushrooms. Bear was perfect at making honey-cakes. Pg 2 )

Development (_ 20 _ min) Show the students the Circle of Courage: Talk about its significance with First Nations: Emerges

from First Nations traditional culture. It’s based on the four growth needs for kids.

Explain what it means by discussing the four aspects of the circle, in this order: Belong- I Belong

Meaningful relationships with others It’s ok to be who you are Sense of Positive Self

Mastery- I Want to Know Learn our Gifts and Talents Accomplishing skills and contributing

Independence- I am Responsible Ability to be independent and make healthy


Involve students while reading the book by asking questions.

Give wait time for Questions.

Remind the students to raise their hands before answering.

Hands Before Mouths reminder again.

Ask the students where Bear and Rabbit displayed the Circle of Courage

choices Learn how to solve problems and seek help

Generosity- I Respect Giving and Forgiving Modeling care and compassion

Relate the Circle of Courage to the story Discuss and explain, while asking the students if they can

see where Bear and Rabbit displayed or did not display the four aspects of the circle.

Talk about what it looks like, sounds like, and feels like. Explain to students:

When you make decisions that might affect people think about the “Stop, Think, Do” Traffic Light. Focus on how your actions may look, sound like and feel like for other people and yourself.

Brainstorm new words with the students that describe some of the things Bear and Rabbit did for each other that were healthy or unhealthy behaviours.

Make a Chart with a few words on each side:Healthy Unhealthy

Worked Together Fighting

Closure (_30_ min) Explain to the students they will be drawing a picture of a

healthy/unhealthy behaviour: They will need to write healthy or unhealthy at the

top Pick a healthy or unhealthy word from the board Draw a picture to match their healthy or unhealthy

word. Explain to the students that we can display

looks like and feels like in our pictures by creating characters with the right facial expressions and actions in the picture.

Display sounds like. Explain to the students we can write a few

words one of the characters might say. Let the students know when they have they have ten

minutes left to work on their picture. Let them know if they finish early they can finish

something they haven’t or continue draw.

Add new words to our word wall that come up from this lesson.

Explain how the assignment will be done

Walk around to make sure the students are understanding.

Remind them they have about 10 minutes to their picture

Assessment: Out of 15 possible marks.

Excellent (3) Meeting Expectations (2)

Progressing (1)

Does the student have the word Healthy or Unhealthy on their picture?Did the student use a word from that category to describe their picture?Does the picture match the words?Does their picture display what that healthy or unhealthy word looks like or feels like.Are there a few words to display what the healthy or unhealthy word sounds like?

Lesson Plan Four

Topic: Making healthy choices can be difficult


Description of Lesson: Students will talk more about making healthy choices and we will discuss that this can be difficult at times. Students will take part in an activity which will get them moving around and will have them making healthy decisions. They will discuss which option sounds better and which one is actually the healthier choice.


d. Recognize that making healthy choices can be difficult at times.

Materials/ Resources: - List of “should you” questions (see appendix below)- Space for students to move from one corner to another safely - Traffic light from previous lesson

Cross-Curricular Competencies: Developing Thinking: Think and learn critically> Analyze and critique objects, events, experiences, ideas, theories, expressions, situations, and other phenomena> Distinguish among facts, opinions, beliefs and preferences

> Apply various criteria to assess ideas, evidence, arguments, motives, and actions

Prerequisite Learnings: - Stop, Think, Do Traffic light model (discussed in previous lesson)

Interdisciplinary Connections: - Phys. Ed can be incorporated, especially if you are able to use a gym or outdoors to get students moving more.

Lesson Preparation: - Prepare list of “should you” questions, number of questions will depend how long you want to do activity for.

Presentation:Set- Invite students to sit in story area and have stop, think, do traffic light at front.- Ask students what they can recall from last lesson about what the traffic light means.- Tell students that what we learned about the traffic light can be used when making healthy decisions. Talk about making decisions using this strategy.

Management- Have students raise hand to answer questions.- Have students sitting in front of teacher in story area so everyone can see.

Time5-10 mins

Development- Introduce game that we are going to play. Teacher will ask a question and you need to choose the option that you think is the healthy decision. For each question teacher will tell students which corner to go stand in for each option. Ex) “Should you eat a donut or an orange? If you think a donut go stand in that corner, if you think an orange go stand in this corner.”- After each round have students observe the size of the groups in each corner and discuss why this might be. Talk about why some students may have chosen the “unhealthy” choice.

- Have students moving to corners quietly by prompting them to move quietly like a mouse, or tiptoe- Can also have them move in different ways such as skipping, hopping on one foot, etc.

15-20 mins

Closure- Bring students back to the story area- Talk about how moving around for this activity was a healthy choice versus sitting in a desk.- Ask if sometimes they wanted to make the other decision even if they knew it might not be the healthiest? Can they think of experiences in their everyday life where they have done this?- Discuss how this showed making healthy decisions can be difficult at times because it may not always be the easiest choice or what we want.- Encourage students next time they are making a decision to stop and think about what may be the healthy choice before they act.

- Have students raise hands to answer questions.

5- 10 mins

Adaptations: Can use different spaces such as gym or outdoors to incorporate more physical activity. If there isn’t space in your classroom to get all students up and moving students can

stand up and make different signals to indicate which answer they would chose (ex, stand on one foot or raise hands in the air, etc). Can also expand with more questions/scenarios.

Assessment: Teacher will have a checklist with 5 student’s names and will check whether they are making the healthy choice Always, Sometimes, Never during activity.

Appendix for lesson four: Questions for activity- Should you eat a chocolate bar or some carrots for snack- Should you play computer after school or go outside and play- Should you have a glass of water or juice for a drink- Should you brush your teeth before bed or go straight to be without brushing- Should you watch TV all night or play a game where you are moving around- Should you stay up really late or go to bed when your parents tell you to- Should you eat a piece of cake for dessert or some fruit- Should you wash your hands when you get home from school or just start playing with your toys- Should you cough into your elbow or cough into your hand- Should you share a drink with your friend or get your own

Lesson Plan #5Name: Miss Finch Date: November 15, 2012Subject: Health Education Grade: OneTitle: “Healthy Choice Voice” Description of lesson: The students will be listening to a healthy living song. The song only talks about eating healthy, being active and drinking water. There are more things that contribute to us being healthy. The students will help their teacher come up with ideas to add onto the song.

Instructional strategies: The teacher will be using the instructional strategy of “Brain storming”. The students will have free range to share their ideas with their classmates and teacher. They will raise their hands and share their answers has the teacher writes their ideas in the form of a web or chart on the board.

Outcomes:

Outcome: USC1.1

Examine healthy behaviors and opportunities and begin to determine how these behaviors and opportunities may affect personal well-being.

Indicators:e) Illustrate the importance of basic daily behaviours (e.g., washing hands, brushing teeth, eating fruits and vegetables, wearing sun screen and sun protective clothing, being physically active, playing, drinking water, respecting other living things) for good health.

Cross Curricular Competences:Developing Identity and interdependence:Understand, value, and care for oneself (intellectually, emotionally, physically, spiritually)

Students will be developing their ability to understand value and care for their own self. They are beginning to think about the importance of being healthy every day and that they can be responsible for their own decisions.

Interdisciplinary:

This lesson could be used with English language Arts, the students are listening to a poem in the form of a song. The poem has problems and solutions to healthy living.

Outcome: CR1.4 Read and comprehend grade-appropriate texts (including narratives, informational texts, scripts, and poems) by relating the sequence (i.e., beginning, middle, and end), the key points (who, what, when, where, and why), and the problems and solutions.

Prerequisite Learning: Students must be familiar with important healthy living words and phrases. They will gain this knowledge through this unit leading up to this lesson.Differentiation (Adaptive Dimension):For students who are advanced they can write beside each picture they have circled what it is. Example: if it is a jacket have them write Jacket next to the picture. Or have them circle all the similar pictures.

For students who are having trouble getting started the teacher can prompt them by pointing to each picture and

having the student share what the picture is. Then the teacher can help the student decide what they want to be in the song.

Preparation: (Equipment/ Materials/ Resrouces) Overhead projector Lyrics to “ Healthy Choice Voice” Song ,

( http://classroom.kidshealth.org/classroom/cc/EveryDayIsAHealthyDay.pdf) Hand out for students with pictures of healthy ideas/ concepts

Set (5 min)

Students will listen to the “Healthy Choice Voice” song. This is a sesame street song to the tune of “Old MacDonald “from Kidshealth.org(http://classroom.kidshealth.org/classroom /cc/EveryDayIsAHealthyDay.pdf)The song has verses about making healthy choices by exercising, eating healthy and drinking water.

Development ( 10 – 15 min)

At this time engage the students in discussion. Ask them questions about what healthy looks like. ( They should be able to answer these questions as they have been over this previously)

What other things can we do to be healthy people? When we go outside how can we stay healthy? (ex.

Wearing sunscreen, staying in the shade, wearing a jacket when it’s cold etc.)

What about washing our hands and brushing our teeth?

Write the students ideas about being healthy on the board in the form of a web or chart. Explain to the students that it is important to be healthy everyday so they can be an all-around healthy kid and so forth.Closure ( 10 min)

( share the song with the students again)Say to the students that the song is incomplete because it does not talk about all of the ways we can be healthy. You need their help to finish the song. Hand them out a sheet of paper with pictures of things that keep them healthy. They need to circle three things that they want in the song. After they have finished circling the teacher will ask each student individually why they think it is important to be healthy daily in many ways.

Collect the student’s papers and quickly go over what needs to be added into the song. ( write the rest of the song on your own & share it with them at a later time) The students will still feel like they helped create the song.


Have the students seated at their desks with the lyrics to the song presented on the overhead projector for them to see. The teacher will sing them the song.

Students need to raise their hands when they are answering questions. Prompt the students by giving them ideas about being healthy if they are struggling.

Go around the classroom and check on the students’ progress. Make sure they are only circling 3 things.

Lesson 6Name: Samantha Heebner Date: November 15, 2012Subject: Health Grade: One

Description of Lesson: In this lesson the students will review healthy daily behaviours and begin to discuss those

they can be independent with and those that they need help with from an adult. The students will begin buy reviewing what they learnt last lesson and discuss where in the Circle of Courage the daily behaviours they can perform on their own would fit. After doing so, the teacher will create two columns on the board one for independent behaviours and the other for those they need help with. Lead by the teacher the students will brainstorm a typical day from waking up to going to bed, as well as a First Nations people ceremony and place things on the board where they belong. The students then will get into groups and display their knowledge of independent behaviours and those they need help with by practicing and performing their skits for the class.

Topic:

Identifying those healthy behaviours the students can do independently and those that they need help with

Instructional Strategies (Specific):

Discussion/Brainstorming Compare and Contrast Role Play

Outcomes:



Indicators:

Understanding, Skills, and ConfidencesF. Determine the daily healthy behaviours that can be performed individually and those that may need support (e.g., washing hands on own, applying sun screen with support, smudging with support).

Cross Curricular Competences: Developing Identity and Interdependence

Understand, value, and care for oneself Develop skills, understandings, and confidence to make conscious choices

that contribute to the development of a healthy, positive self-identity

Connections to Other Areas of Study: Arts Education – Drama: Critical/Responsive (CR 1.1) Demonstrate understanding that the

arts are a way of expressing ideas. First Nations Studies

Prerequisite Learning: Working knowledge of First Nations Studies Working knowledge of healthy daily behaviours and the Circle of Courage

Materials/ Resources: White board and marks Referring back to our Circle of Courage put on our bulletin board Smudging Visual

Lesson Preparation: All materials Review of ideas from last class for both the students and self.

Differentiation (Adaptive Dimension): More advanced students can work together to create a longer skit or be paired with students

that are struggling to provide assistance Students who are struggling can work within a group that has more advanced students that

can support them. Or have them working alone to produce a visual/drawing of something the students can do on their own and something they need help with.

If a student finishes early they can continue to practice their skit or add onto it, otherwise they can finish up something from another subject.

Presentation: This will take two class times.

Set (_10__ min)

To begin invite the students to share and review the important basic daily behaviours for good health that were discussed last lesson (Indicator E).

Share the song “Healthy Choice Voice” from last lesson After make sure to discuss: washing hands, brushing

teeth, eating fruits and vegetables, wearing sun screen and sun protective clothing, being physically active, playing, drinking water, respecting other living things.

Explain to students that some things that make us healthy acquire help from adults, our First Nations Elders and others we can do buy ourselves. As we get older we begin to do more on our own.

Tell the students that we are going to talk about the things that make us healthy, as well as decide if the students can do these behaviours by themselves or if they need help.

Ask the students: If there is some daily healthy behaviour we can do

on our own what part of the Circle of Courage does that come from?

Mostly Independence (Although some might suggest Mastery, its main place is this).

Development (_ 25 _ min) Make two columns on the board, one for healthy

behaviours the students can perform by themselves and the other for behaviours the students can’t perform by themselves.

Involve the students by getting them to brainstorm their daily life from waking up to going to bed.

As the students make suggestions put the daily behaviours in the right columns. Make sure to touch on the aspects of last lesson (washing hands, brushing teeth, eating fruits and vegetables, wearing sun screen and sun protective clothing, being physically active, playing, drinking water, respecting other living things).


Involve students while discussing what they remember from their last lesson.

Give wait time for Questions.

Remind the students to raise their hands before answering

Hands Before Mouths reminder again.

Involve and ask the students about their regular day.

To begin this ask the students: What do you do when you first wake up? Do you do this alone or with help?

After discussing the students daily behaviours explain to the students that First Nations people their age go through similar days as we have just described; however, they also experience ceremonies and other things that differ their culture from ours.

Give the students the example of smudging and explain it as:

A ceremony where the body is cleansed both physically and spiritually. This is where someone takes certain herbs and burns them and then continues by taking the smoke in one's hands and rubbing or brushing it over the body of someone else.

Show the students the picture as a visual.

Closure (_30_ min) Now that the students have a basic understanding of daily

behaviours and those they can do on their own split the class in half.

Explain to the students they will be performing a short skit in groups of 2-3

One half of the class will do behaviours they can do by themselves the other half will be doing behaviours they can’t do by themselves.

Explain to the students they will have ten minutes to pick an idea from their column and make a small skit that demonstrates that daily task, and that the skits will be preformed next class.

Also be sure to acknowledge the social goal of the group that everyone should be encouraging and work hard to assign the roles of each character fairly and without conflict.

At the start of next class allow the students five minutes to debrief and then let each group perform their skits one at a time.

Explain how the assignment will be done

Tell the students to focus on the board for ideas for their skit

Remind them they have about 10 minutes finish their skit.

As each group performs ask the other students to identify what daily behaviour they were doing and did they do it alone or with help

Assessment: Group checklist out of 3 marks.

Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Ect.Did the group work to get along?Did the students demonstrate a task discussed?Did the students demonstrate it in the

right context? (alone or with help)

Sarah Allinson Lesson Plan

Lesson no.8

Topic: Germs/Washing hands Grade: One Date: November 15th 2012

Description of Lesson: Students will learn and see for themselves what happens if we do not wash our hands properly and see how quickly germs can spread. They will begin by watching a power point on germs and talk with the teacher a little about germs as a group. Students will be split into groups of two and each will place a little hand sanitizer on their hands and the teacher will give them each a little sprinkle of glitter. They will sing ‘hey there neighbour’ with the body actions so their hands touch and they can see the glitter transfer onto each other’s hands. The class will then wash their hands using the method they saw on the PDI germ war video recently and their partner will check they are doing it correctly. Students will return to the front of the class where the teacher will discuss with students how the glitter represented germs and they will talk about how quickly germs spread and things we can do to prevent it. Finally students will be a given a worksheet to complete which will also form the assessment material.

Outcome(s) Indicators USC1.1

Examine healthy behaviours and opportunities and begin to determine how these behaviours and opportunities may affect personal well-being.


Materials/Resources: Germ power point, computer/projector, assessment worksheet, glitter, hand sanitizer, sink, cleaning materials.

Cross-Curricular Competences : Developing ThinkingThink and learn creatively


Interdisciplinary connections: This lesson has links to other subject areas. The song and dance links to Arts Education. The worksheet links to English Language arts.

Prerequisite Learnings: Students will previously have been taught ‘Hey there neighbour’ dance and lyrics.

Lesson Preparation: Ensure there are enough worksheets for each student.

PresentationSet

Ask students if they have been practicing being a PDI agent? Have they been washing their hands correctly?Explain to students that today we are going to see what happens when people do not wash their hands and see how quickly germs can spread.

Show students the germ power point to reinforce the idea that germs are bad and we need to do everything we can to stop germs from spreading.

Development

Ask students if they remember the ‘hey there neighbour’ song and dance. Recap if necessary.Divide students into pairs, label one person as A and one person as B. Allow the students to squirt a drop of sanitizer or lotion on their hands from the mini bottles on their table. Teacher will then move around the room giving student A one colour glitter and student B another colour. They will rub the tiny amount in their hands and begin to sing ‘hey there neighbour’. As they shake hands with each other the glitter will transfer onto each other hands so they will be left with their partners glitter on their hand as well.(Students will then wash their hands correctly, teacher will tell them to wash the way they saw on the PDI germ video previously)

Students will return to the front of the classroom.Discuss with students how the glitter represents the germs and how quickly the germs spread onto their partner’s hand. Reinforce that washing their hands is their responsibility.Briefly review traffic light, ‘stop, think, do’. Explain

Management

Have students sat at their desks with a view of the projector/whiteboard.

Make sure all students are watching and listening.

Ensure all students are using the sanitizer and glitter correctly.

Ask students to go in pairs to wash their hands with their partner ‘checking’ to see if they did it correctly.

Ensure all students are engaged and listening to and respecting the teacher and their classmates.

how they used this today. The power point helped the students to think and ask questions, the activity had them think deeply about what the glitter represented and when the students washed their hands they made a positive healthy independent choice to do it correctly.

Closure

Ask students to return to their desk and they will be given a worksheet to answer questions about germs on.

Ask students if they have any questions?

Have them tell the teacher three things they learn about germs today.

(Teacher would add words to word wall such as germs, choice)

Ensure all students are answering the questions and understand.

10 min

Assessment:Observation during the activity will be conducted by the teacher to ensure all students are working together and cooperating. The teacher will choose four students to determine how engaged and involved they were in the discussion and activity. The worksheet will be collected and marked after the lesson to determine who understood the lesson.

Adaptive Dimension: Group students so that the stronger students can help those less engaged in the activity. If students are not engaged and/or understanding, guide them through an example so they can continue as partners without help from the teacher.

\Lesson Plan Nine

Topic: Opportunities for healthy behaviours (slide show and group presentations)


Description of Lesson: Students will identify healthy behaviours in different pictures displayed in a slide show and what opportunities are presented for making healthy choices. Students will then engage in small group work and will present their findings on healthy behaviours they take part in and when they take part in these actions.



Materials/ Resources: Slide Show (one picture per slide) - Chart paper (one per group)- Markers

Cross-Curricular Competencies: Developing Identity and Interdependence: Understand, value, and care for oneself (intellectually, emotionally, physically, spiritually)> Develop skills, understandings, and confidence to make conscious choices that contribute to the development of a healthy, positive self-identity

Prerequisite Learnings: Students will have an understanding of different healthy habits as it has been discussed in previous lessons.

Interdisciplinary Connections: Art and English Language Arts can be incorporated into the posters the children are creating in their groups.

Lesson Preparation: - Put together a slide show of different pictures- one per slide- (including a child drinking water, eating fruits and vegetables, walking on sidewalk, flossing or brushing teeth, helping others, exercising/playing outside, putting on sunscreen, sleeping, etc). Some pictures can be children engaging in unhealthy behaviours so that students can identify what they should be doing. - Pull up slideshow on project and ensure it works.- Pull up brain break video in another window so it is ready to go when needed.- Have students broken into groups (having stronger students working with students who may need help in each group).

Presentation:Set- Have students come in and sit down where they are able to see the slide show that is up on the screen.- Start the slide show, showing one picture at a time and having students discuss what each child is doing in the picture and how this is a healthy behaviour or what child could be doing differently if it is an unhealthy behaviour.

Management- Have students sit with their groups they will be working with for activity. Preplan groups to ensure there will be no issues with certain students working together.

Time10-15 mins

Development- Ask “What are some other opportunities or chances in our everyday lives that we can make healthy choices and engage in healthy or safe behaviours?” – have only a few students answer and then tell students they will have a chance to share other ideas that they may have while completing the activity.- Remind them that this is an opportunity in which we can use the traffic light model where we stop, think and do.- Brain Break (youtube video - dance)- Have students break into groups of four (can have groups decided prior).- Students will work together to discuss and decide on opportunities of when they can display healthy behaviours.- Each group will be given a piece of chart paper, where they will draw pictures or symbols, write words or sentences relating to healthy behaviours they take part in and when they need to or can make these decisions. (Give students 10- 20 minutes to work on this).

- Use brain break to refocus attention.- Walk around and make sure students are on task and ask different groups questions to help them stay on task.- Encourage all students to be participating and make sure there are not students who are dominating groups.

30 mins

Closure- Each group will come to the front and present their group work to the rest of the class.- After students have presented their poster they will be hung up on the white board for the rest of the day.

- Remind students how to be respectful listeners while their peers are presenting.

10-20 mins

Adaptations: Stronger students or leaders will be grouped with students who may need some extra help. Students who can not write have option of drawing ideas on poster.

Assessment: Teacher will select 3 or 4 students to take anecdotal notes on and will look at areas such as participation in big group discussion, participation in small group work, whether they are using healthy behaviour vocabulary.Groups will be given a mark on their presentation and whether they demonstrated understanding of healthy behaviours.


Lesson no. 10

Topic: Winter safety Grade: One Date: 15th November 2012

Description of Lesson: This lesson is designed to be over two lesson periods. The teacher will read the book ‘Warm clothes: preparing for winter’ and then ask students what sort of clothing the people in the book wear to stay warm. The teacher will discuss the importance of staying warm in winter and explain how this is a healthy choice they can make on their own. Students will then be given a cut-out mitten where they will draw pictures of clothing they wear in winter. The teacher will then ask students to return to the front of the classroom where they will talk about lakes in winter and how dangerous they are. The teacher will bring out the ice tray and as a

class they will form their own hypothesis on what they believe will happen to the ice when they poke it with toothpicks. Each student will have a chance to press their toothpick into the ice. To close the lesson the teacher will ask students three things they have learn from today.

Outcome(s) Indicators USC1.1



Materials/Resources: ‘Warm Clothes: Preparing for winter’ by Gail Saunders-Smith. Ice tray pre-prepared, cut-out of mitten for each student.

Cross-Curricular Competences : Developing identity and interdependence Understand, value, and care for oneself


Interdisciplinary connections: This lesson has interdisciplinary connections to science and English Language Arts.

Prerequisite Learnings: Students will be able to listen to instructions and listen respectfully to others when in a class discussion.

Lesson Preparation: Have mitten cut out available for each student. Ice tray will be prepared and ready.

Presentation

Set

Students will be sat at the front of the class and the teacher will explain that they will be learning about winter safety. Teacher will begin by reading the book ‘Warm Clothes: Preparing for winter’ by Gail Saunders-Smith.

Management

Ensure all students are sat facing the front reading to listen to the book.

Time

10 min

Development

After listening to the book the teacher will ask students what sort of clothing the characters in the book wear to stay warm. Teacher will talk about the importance of staying warm in the winter and how it is a healthy choice they can make on their own. (For example, when they are going to play with their friends at recess, their parents are not at school to tell them so it their responsibility to dress appropriately so they have to make that decision on their own.

Ask students to return to their desks where they will each be given a cut-out mitten with the words ‘In winter I wear....’ and have students draw pictures of items they wear in winter with the items name next to it. (These mittens can be tied with yarn or string to form a clothes line for decoration during the winter months in the classroom)

Teacher will ask students to get out of their seat and take part in a quick brain break. (Wiggle arms, hands, legs, touch your toes)

Ice experiment: Teacher will explain that while dressing appropriately is a good way to stay warm and healthy in winter students need to be aware of some of the dangers in Saskatchewan in the winter time. Ask students who has ever played on the ice? Ask students if they were with their parents or an adult? Begin to discuss how playing on ice (lakes especially) is very dangerous. Discuss how even though the ice may look thick and look like it could hold your weight it may only be frozen on the top.

Ask students if they would like to see this in an experiment we are going to do?Teacher will bring out baking tray. As a class, students will form their own hypothesis, for example ‘I think the ice will be frozen all the way through’.Using toothpicks the students can take it in turns to gently push through the top layer of ice to see the water underneath.Teacher will explain that this is why lakes are so dangerous especially without a responsible adult with

Ensure students are raising their hand to answer the questions and respecting others when they speak.

you because it doesn’t take much to break through the top layer of ice.

Closure

Recap: Teacher will ask students three things they have learn from today?

Why is it so dangerous to go onto ice?Give me three items of clothing that you need to wear in winter?What happens if you do not wear your correct winter clothing?

5 min

Assessment: This lesson is to educate students on the dangerous aspects of Saskatchewan winters therefore the assessment used will mainly be observation by the teacher. However on the way out at either recess, lunch, or the end of the day (depending on when the lesson takes place) the teacher will be stood at the door and students must answer one question posed by the teacher before they leave. (Teacher will have a sheet with names on so she can mark off who she feels understood the lesson and therefore achieved the indicator and outcome).

Adaptive Dimension: As this is a lengthy lesson students may become disengaged quickly or suddenly therefore the teacher can use the brain break whenever it is needed.

Assessment for lesson 10

Questions for oral exit slip:

Why should you not go onto lakes in the winter?

Give me one item of clothing you should wear in winter?

Whose responsibility is it to wear warm clothes at recess?

Is it safe to go onto ice?

What happens if the ice is not fully frozen?

Lesson Plan #11Name: Miss Finch Date: November 15, 2012Subject: Health Education Grade: OneTitle: Support for Healthy behaviors (Healthy Team) Description of lesson: Students will be discussing creating a healthy team within their classroom and community. The students will help their teacher create a list of people who can help them be healthy. This list can include different adults and children. Students will be given scenarios and will draw pictures about people helping them to share their knowledge about being part of a healthy team.

Instructional Strategies: The teacher will be using the instructional strategy of “Brain storming”. The students will have free range to share their ideas with their classmates and teacher. They will raise their hands and share their answers has the teacher writes their ideas on their healthy team poster.

Outcomes: Indicators: Consider opportunities to access support for

Outcome: USC1.1Examine healthy behaviors and opportunities and begin to determine how these behaviors and opportunities may affect personal well-being.

healthy behaviors (recess times provides opportunities to play and be physically active, a trusted peer walks with you to school which provides safety and friendship )

Cross Curricular Competences:Developing Identity and interdependence:Understand, value, and care for others

Students will learn that they are part of a healthy team that works together and cares for each other. They will recognize they need support to be healthy and others need their support.Interdisciplinary:This lesson can be incorporated into the Social Studies curriculum. Students will be focused family as a support system.Prerequisite Learning: Students should be familiar with healthy words and phrases. They will have learnt these ideas throughout this entire first unit.

Differentiation (Adaptive Dimension): Students who struggle with drawing, can share with their teacher about how someone can help them be healthy.Students who are not challenged can write a sentence to go along with their picture explaining who is helping them be healthy.

Preparation: (Equipment/ materials/ set-up) Poster paper Markers Scenarios on a piece of paper

Set ( 5 min)Review lesson #10 about making healthy decisions on their own.Get the students thinking about teamwork and working together. Ask them the following questions:

Has anyone been part of team before? What kind of teams are there? (sports, classroom,

families etc. )

Explain to the students that a team works together and cares for one another. They are part of a Healthy team who care for each other and want to be healthy together.Suggest maybe coming up with a team name.

Refer back to the Traffic light model. Students can use this strategy when deciding if they need help with a healthy activity.

Development ( 5- 10 min)

How can we be healthy?How can others help us be healthy?

Create a list on a poster paper of people who help children be healthy. You can split the list up between adult and children. The students will share their ideas of who helps them and with what. Example: their sister helps them brush their teeth.


Have the students seated in the circle on the floor in the story area. The students all need to feel on the same level, because everyone is equal on a team.

Stay seating in the circle and create the poster together with the teacher writing down the ideas.

Lesson no. 12

Topic: Choices Grade: One Date: 15th November 2012

Description of Lesson: The teacher will explain to students that they will be learning about healthy good choices and unhealthy bad choices. Give each student a hand sign and read the statements. The students will either hold their sign to say ‘good choice’ or ‘bad choice’. This will be explained and the teacher will discuss how sometimes in life we make bad choices but as long as we can fix it then it is ok. Teacher will then read the book ‘scaredy squirrel’ and as a class discuss what the squirrel was afraid of, how he dealt with it and how he overcame his fear. The students will the return to their desks and write/draw pictures in their journals of their fear either one from the past or present and what they did or will do to overcome that fear. Next introduce ‘stop, talk about it, fix it’ as a way of helping students when they make bad choices. Finally the traffic light ‘Stop, think, do’ will be reviewed to show how it connects to this lesson and to their ‘stop, talk about it, fix it’ sign.

Prerequisite Learnings: Students will be able to write sentences in their journal and participate in group listening activities respectfully.

Lesson Preparation: Book will be available to read at the beginning of the lesson. The good and bad choices hand sign will have been made for each student.

PresentationSetExplain to students that in this lesson they will be learning about choices. Explain to students that there are some things we have a choice about and some things we don’t. For example: We have to go to work and school but it is our choice how hard we work.Explain that sometimes we make good choices and sometimes we make bad choices.Give each student a hand sign. On the front it will say good choice and the back it will say bad choice. The teacher will read a list of scenarios and students will hold their signs to whether it was a good choice or a bad choice.

Management

Ensure all students understand before continuing with the activity.

Ensure all students are actively participating and select particular students to answer why it is a good choice or bad choice.

Time

10 min

DevelopmentRead ‘Scaredy Squirrel’ by Melanie Watt with students at the front of the class. After reading, ask the students what the character was afraid of? What choices did he? How did the squirrel deal with being afraid? What did they do?

Ask students to return to their seats and in their writing journal tell me one thing they are afraid of and what choice did they make to deal with it. Give an example: When I was younger I was afraid of the dark and I would never sleep so at school the next day I was always tired. This was not very healthy for me, so a healthy choice I made was to ask my mom to leave the night light on for me and then I slept all the time.

Ask a wide range of students questions.

If students are struggling writing in their journals the teacher can adapt the activity and allow them to draw a picture of their fear and write what they did to overcome it.

5 min

20 min

Closure

Have students sit at the front of the classroom. Explain to students that we don’t always make good choices and when we do make a bad choice we can learn from it.Introduce ‘Stop, talk about it, fix it’ into the classroom here. (have poster form to put on the walls for students to see) Explain to students that when we make a bad choice and we realize we can do three things. Stop, Talk about it, and then fix it. Explain how we can use this in our everyday life to make healthy choices.

Review traffic light with students and explain the ‘stop, talk about it, fix it’ links to this as you are stopping to think, talking about it to create a deeper understanding and fixing it by ‘doing something’.

Ensure all students are listening.

15 min

Assessment: The journals will form the main part of the assessment for this lesson. They will be collected in by the teacher to determine how each student used their own choices to overcome a fear. Teacher will observe students throughout to make sure they are contributing and engaging in the lesson

Adaptive Dimension:

For those students struggling during the journal writing, the teacher can adapt the activity so that students can draw pictures of their fear and describe it briefly rather than attempting to write sentences.

Questions for lesson 12These statements are to be used at the beginning of the lesson during the choice game. The teacher will read out these scenarios and students will decide whether it was a good choice or a bad choice.

I went to the store this morning and bought two cans of pop and 3 bags of chips.My friend asked if I wanted a pop but I said no I would like water please.I was going to go for a walk in the park but instead I decided to sit on the couch and watch cartoons.I went outside in shorts and tshirt when it was -14 outside.I wash my hands every time I go to the washroom.I regularly get exercise outside.(If there is more time the teacher can add questions to this in the lesson)
