Assessment Summary

Before starting the lesson, I will let the students watch a video about malnutrition. If time permits, I will invite a speaker that will talk about nutrition. After watching, I will ask some questions related to the video and get their opinions. While the discussion is in progress, I will let them create a poster as one of their outputs and let them create a weeklong journal about the foods they ate and gauge if students really used the learning they got from the discussions. After the lesson, I will give a chapter test to assess their understanding and have a cooking activity in which they will apply what they’ve learned.
