Standard

Explain ways in which school and community environments can promote personal Health.

Learning Objective

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify and explain, in a classroom discussion or written assignment, at least three ways in which school and community environments can promote personal Health. 

A suitable formative assessment could be a 'Think-Pair-Share' activity. In this activity, students first think individually about the question or problem posed, ensuring they understand it and can begin formulating an answer. They then pair up with a classmate and discuss their thoughts. Finally, pairs share their ideas with the whole class. This activity encourages all students to think about the topic and formulate their own ideas, rather than simply listening to the ideas of others. For example, the teacher could ask, What ways can our school environment promote personal Health? Students would then have time to think about this question, discuss it with a partner, and then share their ideas with the class.

A suitable summative assessment for this lesson could be a project-based assignment where students must identify and explain at least three ways in which their school and community environments can promote personal Health. First, students will need to identify three ways in which their school and community environments can promote personal Health. They could do this by conducting interviews with school staff or community members, or by researching online or at the local library. Next, students will need to explain each of the three ways they have identified. They should provide details about how each method promotes personal Health, and give examples to illustrate their points. They could also include pictures or diagrams to help explain their ideas. Finally, students will need to present their findings to the class. This could be done as a written report, a PowerPoint presentation, or a poster presentation. The teacher will assess the student's work based on a rubric.
