November 24th - 26th. Grade Seven Health will transition into their first major topic, the body systems. We will begin by exploring the skeletal system. Following lesson one, it will be important for each student to understand what the skeletal system is, what the skeletal system allows an individual to do and what four important functions the skeletal system performs. We will also take a look at the different types of joints and connective tissues. Upon completion of the lesson one outline, the students will view the lesson one review prezi to check their responses. The lesson one outline will be collected and count as a daily assessment grade. As we complete the skeleton system outline, we should attempt to answer the following question; 1. What other systems of the human body does the skeletal system cooperate with to perform important functions? Each grade seven health student will present their prezi to the class. Each student's presentation will provide their classmates with an opportuntiy to get to know them better. It will also provide the presenter with the opportunity to feel good about talking about themselves, identifying their strengths and interests. The prezi and presentation will be a minor assessment grade. Happy Thanksgiving.

"All About Me"

November 17th - 21st Grade Eight Health begins with the students exploring the health triangle, specifically mental/emotional health. As the week comes to an end, each student should be finishing their first health project, "All About Me' Prezi. The project allowed each student to become familiar with how to design a prezi and become more comfortable expressing their belief in their unique interests. The students are able to work on their prezi at home on the internet. The students should have a login and password for their free prezi account. The students were encouraged to use their school e-mail account. That e-mail is; first name.last [email protected]. If students need an example of how to organize their prezi, they can view my example. It is located in the seventh grade health tab on my website. By November 21st, each student should have handed in the following assignments; 1. Understanding Your Health Outline, Daily Assessment, 2. Mental/Emotional Health Outline, Daily Assessment, 3. Folder & Notebook Check, Daily Assessment, 4. All About Me Prezi Project, Minor Assessment. Our next topic will be Alcohol. Alcohol is explored in-depth in chapter twelve of the health textbook. As we transitions to the topic of Alcohol, ask yourself these questions; Why is Alcohol is Harmful? What is the drug classification of alcohol? What type of alcohol is in beverages? "Failure to prepare is preparing to fail."
