Unit Plan A Day in the Fast (food) Lane

Students will analyze the nutritional value of fast food menu choices and determine if there are healthy options at fast food restaurants, basing their research on the FDA’s Recommended Daily Allowances.

A video clip from the movie Super Size Me and a brief survey using a Google Docs form will engage students in thinking about fast food. Students will be directed to a PBworks page where their instructions and links will be located for their assignment. Students will use websites that provide nutritional information for fast food items to try to assemble a 1-day menu of fast food eating that stays within the recommended daily allowances published by the FDA. Students will record nutritional information they find on the websites to determine if it is possible to find healthy options for a day of fast food eating. A discussion of their findings with peers and with the class as a whole will follow their research.

Unit Plan - 2nd Semester
==Students are assigned a health-related topic to research. They are asked to choose relevant information that will be meaningful to themselves and their peers, and that will help guide them in making healthy decisions. The website [|www.sbhealth6.pbworks.com] is used as an online tool for the organization and collaboration of their projects. Before beginning, students are asked to take a short survey which explores their prior knowledge and opinions about finding valid health information. ([]) The final presentation of their gathered information is presented in the form of a glog, which will be embedded onto their pbworks page. Students will be asked to view and comment on each other's glogs.==
