 Bloom's Taxonomy Levels  __Select Media and Materials__   __Utilize Media and Materials__   __Require Learner Participation__ Throughout the week students should learn and recognize all the different aspects of life that have to do with living healthy. They should be able to properly choose the activites and foods that will help them live a long and prosporous life. Students should be able to decipher between junk and health foods and know the reasons why the health food is a better option for them. They should be able to demonstrate knowledge that they have learned throughout the week on Friday when participating in the Class Olympics and should show an interest in wanting to continue on with an active life. Throughout the week the students are completely several activites which will help them in the goals listed above. For example, students will watch videos on food groups, have their own Food Pyramid designed for them, advertise the reasons why a healthy lifestyle is important, and other activites that will enlighten them on this topic. The students will use various forms of technology in completing their assignments throughout the week and they should be able to complete each assignment in the time allotted for each class period.

<span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0);"> __Evaluate and Revise__ I think the lesson plan workout out pretty well. I think that all of the activites gave the students information that they need to know in their everyday lives and it allowed them to all learn the same type of information but each students information was directed directly towards him/her. However, if I do do this lesson plan again, I think that I would maybe swap out a day of doing work for a day that is a little more interactive. For example I could bring in several small baskets of food, each filled with various types of food (both healthy and junky) and separate the class into teams. I could then explain to the class that whichever team could separate their food basket the fastest into the two categories above, they would be allowed to pick a game for the entire class to play on the Class Olympic Day. This would give every student in the class the incentive to want to correctly separate their food baskets and do it in cooperation with eachother. Other than that, I think the week went great!
