Especially in the next few years when you transition from living at home to going to college or working, you may face new challenges. Over the last century our country has changed. This has affected our diets and health in many ways. We are going to watch a quick video to show how our community has changed and how it has influenced obesity. Bite Size Movie: Saving America, One Bite At A Time: This clip explains how over time America has become more lazy, less active, and always taking the easy way out when it comes to obtaining food. 2.Bell Ringer (Instant Activity): What Caused this?Give students a piece of paper Show students pictures of overweight people of all ages and have them write down what they think caused this.Prompt them on ideas such as, parents, peers, lack of education, convenience.Whip Around, Pass learning strategy:Have students share one thing they wrote down about what they think caused the people in the pictures to become obese/overweight.Start on one side of the room with the first student and go up and down the rows. Go around the rows twice in case someone has more to share.Give students a small object, like a soft ball, to pass around so students know when it is their turn to speak.Give students the opportunity to pass if they do not feel comfortable sharing what they wrote. 3.Content & Instructional Strategies:Content Outline:What Factors Influence Obesity? (Brainstorming, Lecture, PowerPoint)Peers: what they eat when you are hanging out at their house, dorm, etc.; where they stop to eat while driving; eating while watching tv/movie; video games vs. P.A.; how much they eat; partiesFamily: what types of meals your family cooks/buys; where your family shops at; food left out on table; not eating togetherCulture/Environment: what types of food you are allowed to eat or not; special meals during the holidays; bigger-sized plates; fad diets; technology; office jobs; normal to be big in some countries; where you live; rewarded with foodAdvertisements: fast food restaurants; all-you-can-eat buffets; buy one get one/special deals; subliminal messages; new products Lack of Education: knowing how to read food labels, how many calories to take in per day, portion sizes, nutritional valuesConvenience: cost and location of food; cooking skills; amount of time available to cook or do P.A.; availability of healthy foodInternal Influences: stress, emotions, boredom, taste, time of day4. In-Class Learning Activity(ies): “Influences on Obesity” WorksheetHand out index cards to students that indicate what article they will be reading and in what groups, with 4-5 students per group. Have the students arrange their desks so the students are all facing each other (in a square).Hand out the assigned articles and a worksheet to each student, giving students that are in the same group the same article. Each index card will have a number on the back of it (1-4) to indicate what group students will be in after they have read their articles.Students will read the articles that were given to them and then complete the worksheet for a grade. After everyone has completed the worksheet, students will move to their designated group that matches up with the number on their index card. Students in the same group should have all read different articles. Once all students are in their correct groups, each student in the groups will take a turn sharing what they read in their article. They will discuss the main points and anything they found interesting on the influence they read about. This allows all students to learn something about each influence without having to read every article.Each worksheet will be scored using the Analytical Rubric found in the Assessment section. It will be scored on Content Criteria, the Skill cues if Analyzing Influences and Additional Criteria/Characteristics. 5. In-Class Learning Activity Assessment-Description & CriteriaAn analytical rubric will be used to grade the in-class learning activity, “Influences on Obesity” Worksheet, on content (Core Concepts), health skills (Analyzing Influences) and other specific criteria.Students must include content specific to their influence on obesity and it must be accurate, comprehensive, show relationships between concepts, and draw conclusions. The CC criteria on the analytical rubric will be used to assess the content portion of the activity.In addition, students must analyze their assigned influence and include a way to overcome that influence. They should use the analyzing influences skill cues of: identifying and analyzing their specific external factor, identifying and analyzing internal factors, addressing interrelationships and complexity of their influence, and presenting their influence as appropriate. The analyzing influences criteria on the analytical rubric will be used to assess the skill portion of the activity.Additional criteria are characteristics of the activity that are not content or skill-related. The criteria includes: all answers on the worksheet should be in complete sentences, the three main points should be relevant to their influence, two ways to prevent/overcome the influence are included, and a way the influence has positive effects one one’s health is stated.Score the “Influences on Obesity” Worksheet using the following core concepts criteria, skill cues, additional criteria, and Analytical Rubric.Core ConceptsContent for the influence on obesity shows:AccuracyComprehensivenessRelationships among conceptsConclusions drawnSkill: Analyzing InfluencesShow both internal and the external factorsExplain the complexity of the influenceShow how the influences affect health choicesAdditional CriteriaComplete sentencesThree relevant main pointsTwo ways to prevent/overcome influenceInfluence’s positive effects6. Final Thoughts/Conclusion to the LessonPaper TossHave students take out a plain sheet of paper and draw a line splitting the top half from the bottom.Have them write a positive influence on the top and a negative influence on the bottom dealing with maintaining a healthy weight.Students will then rip their papers where they drew the line, ball up the negative influence, and throw it at the teacher.“These negative influences are ones that can be controlled. Try to eliminate them from your lives to stay healthy and focus on the positive influences.”Checking for Understanding (verbal):Name one influence on obesity and how to prevent that influence from having an affect on you.How could you make the negative influence on your health positive to maintain a healthy life?“During our lesson today we learned about different factors that influence obesity and how and why they do so. It is important to know how to overcome these influences and be able to prevent them from impacting our health, and overall our lives.”7.
