A fun lesson that encourages students to challenge what they know about food, health and dieting. Students learn about crash dieting and how to dispel myth from fact. There is also a fun game called higher or Lower whereby students have to guess the amount of calories in each food item, with the intention of sowing that even if something is low in calories it doesn’t mean it is always a healthy option. Students learn about balance and are challenged to form their own opinion on how harmful calorie counting can be to society.
PowerPoint and Workpack are in comic sans, with size 14 font. The lesson includes differentiated learning tasks that are scaffolded and sequenced throughout the lesson encouraging the development of critical thinking. The lesson includes assessment for learning opportunities and develops wider literacy skills throughout. The PowerPoint has teacher notes with suggested teaching ideas and questioning, as well as suggested timings. The Lesson and resources are non-specialist friendly and helpful for ECT.
The Workpack can also be used to ‘catch-up’ absent students and lower ability students, that may require more processing time and reference points. The Workpack doubles up as a Knowledge Organiser.
