Hello first grade parents and guardians!
Our class is beginning a unit on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. There will be three major sections to this unit: eating healthy, exercising and physical activity, and how to live a healthy lifestyle. This podcast is meant to simply describe the different aspects that we will cover with the class.
An important aspect of living a healthy lifestyle is eating healthy foods. To begin the section on eating healthy, we show a digital story that I created. The digital story mentions the benefits of eating healthy foods as opposed to eating unhealthy foods. Next, we will hold a videoconference with an expert nutritionist. He will list the characteristics of healthy foods and describe what foods are unhealthy. The nutritionist will also be able to describe to the class what a healthy diet consists of by explaining daily nutritional needs.
After holding the videoconference with the nutritionist, students will create a PowerPoint presentation of characteristics of healthy foods that they will present to the class when finished. Finally, a pretend grocery store will be set up for the students to do a role playing activity. The students will pretend that they are grocery shopping for their families. I will instruct that they need to buy groceries that they can use to make healthy meals for their families. At the end of the role-playing activity, we will discuss as a class what foods they bought and why. To summarize this section of the healthy lifestyle unit, we will create a classroom display of what we learned about healthy foods on the bulletin board outside our classroom.
Great job! Did you time that yet? I am just curious on how much I should write out in order to get the correct amount of time on the podcast. I have never used the program so I was just wondering if it was tricky or what:)
ReplyDeleteI think that your script sounds great! However, I think that all of our scripts are supposed to fit together and form somewhat of a beginning, middle and end to a unit? I might have misunderstood though? So I'm just not sure if you should have a beginning and end to a unit. Like I said I'm not sure if this is correct.
ReplyDeleteCoutney, the way I described it in my podcast was that it is just a section in the unit of "Living a healthy lifestyle." But I can always change it.
ReplyDeleteAnd Lisa, I timed it and it takes about a minute and 30 seconds for me to read it all out loud.
