Health Lesson Setup

Introduction

·       3-5 minute introduction on the topic to be covered.  Explain to the students why what we are learning today is important.

Lesson

·       Lessons which cover the main topic should last 15-20 minutes .  Small group work and role playing generally reinforce the material to be covered best.

·       Integration teaching is highly effective. Most heath material can be integrated with science and some math content areas. 

·       Proper sentence structure and other writing skills should be emphasized since the assessment does address this.

Closure

·       Ask the students what they learned today and why it is important for their own personal health.

·       Ask the students to correspond the topic of the day to the State Health standards.
