Adapted Teaching Strategy
Lesson Name: Healthy Eating
Grade: 5
Subject: Health
Student: A student whose has
a low reading level and has a slight behavior problem.
Rationale: The purpose of this
lesson is to have students learn how to eat healthy. The students will learn
the five basic food groups and will lear
n what foods belong to each food group.
The students will also learn the importance of eating healthy.
Learning
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
• Identify
the five basic food groups and know which food belongs to each food group.
• Understand
the importance of eating healthy.
Materials
Smart Board, Food Pyramid, Paper, Pencils, and Markers.
Procedure
The teacher
will start with a hook by holding up a candy bar and a fruit and ask the
students which do they think is better and healthier for their bodies. The
teacher will then ask the students if they ever think about what they are
putting into their bodies before they eat something. The teacher will then
explain that in order to be healthy children they should be eating more of
certain foods and less of others.
Lesson Body
- The teacher will
then list and define the five categories (grains, proteins, fruits,
vegeatables, and dairy) of food groups on the board.
- The students will
then write each definition in their notebooks.
- The teacher will
provide a couple of examples of food in each food group by showing pictures
from the Smart Board.
-The teacher will
then instruct the student to write these examples in their notebooks.
- The teacher will
then display the Food Pyramid on the Smart Board.
-The teacher will
explain to the class the purpose of the food pyramid and tell how many servings
of each food should be eaten.
- The teacher will
then hold up more examples and ask what food groups they should be in, either
asking if they are in a certain group, or asking what group they should be in
and why.
-
The teacher will then instruct the students to draw a Food Pyramid with foods
that were not mentioned by the teacher to see if they know which foods belong
to each food group.
Closure
Review the five food groups with the class by
asking the students to define each one. Ask the class why it is important to
eat a balanced diet everyday to review what was taught. Ask the students if
they any questions about the food pyramid or the food groups.
Evaluation
Evaluate the drawings of the Food Pyramid the
students drew to see if they understand all five food groups and know which
fruit belong to each group.
Original lesson Plan:
Notes:
The original lesson plan had students look for definitions
themselves in the dictionary. The student I adapted the lesson for does have a
low reading level and would not be able to read the definition, so that is why
I took it out of my adapted lesson. I also adapted this lesson by not having
any group work because this student has a slight behavior problem and I would
want the student to affect the other student in their group.
