Stage 1 - Identify Desired Results


Broad Areas of Learning
How are the BAL incorporated into this unit?

The Broad Areas of Learning are: Lifelong Learners, Sense of Self, Community and Place, and Engaged Citizens. These
are incorporated throughout the unit in multiple ways. First, students will gain the sense that nutritional eating is a
lifelong endeavor. We will view the progression of the science of nutrition and how it is reflected in public policies.
Students will soon realize that the science of nutrition is always evolving with the progression of research in the area.
Students will gain a sense of self, community and place through critically thinking and evaluating their daily diet and
the food sources available to them i.e., school, home, etc. The aspect of engaged citizens will be incorporated through
discussing the issue of organic and healthy food being more expensive than the non-healthy alternative. In examining
this, students will discuss and research how to eat healthy on a budget and what measures can be taken to lower the
cost of nutritious foods, i.e., buying local, community gardens, personal gardens, expansion of green spaces.
Students will learn the issues of nutrition among different cultures and how the diets around the world influence their
nutrition. How people in different geographical regions have different nutritional needs. Students will be familiar with
the food industry of today and how it has changed the way we eat and receive our food.
Students will continue to develop skills using technology to transform their learning, this will promote life long learning
as technology is always changing and being able to adapt and learn with the new technology will help students succeed
in their futures.

Cross curricular Competencies


How will this unit promote the CCC?

The Cross curricular competencies are developing: critical thinking, identity and interdependence, literacies, and social
responsibilities. These competencies are promoted throughout this unit in multiple ways. Students will develop their
thinking through both large and small group discussions, in which they will be encouraged to voice their opinion about a
range of topics under the nutrition umbrella. Students will develop their identity and interdependence by critically
viewing their eating habits and learning nutritious recipes that they can prepare for themselves. Students will also
learn the importance of budgeting and how to adapt meals to different values of budgets. In doing so students will gain
an understanding of life on their own and how to and where to cut costs and still eat healthy. With regards to literacies,
students will continue to develop their literacies in the kitchen and cooking realm but with an added nutritional
vocabulary. Through watching a TED Talk, researching recipes, understanding the science of nutrition and going to the
grocery store to buy groceries, students will become literate in a range of areas related to food and nutrition.

Social studies will be incorporated into this unit by the way of studying nutrition throughout the world and the food
issues. Studying these different issues and cultures around the world will take the students learning to a new level of
relating what they are learning in the classroom to real world situations. Students will be able to look in depth into a
country of their choosing and research what is a current food issues in the specific region and what would their plan of
action be to conquer this issue?

Students will develop interdependence by learning new ways of taking ownership of their own health and lives by using
certain apps to help to do that. They will develop technologic literacies by learning new ways to use technology in all
areas of life. By using technology in the classroom this takes students learning to new level by making the material
relevant to them in this day and age.

Stage 3 Learning Plan


What teaching and learning experiences will you use to:
achieve the desired results identified in Stage 1?
equip students to complete the assessment tasks identified in Stage 2?
Where are your students headed? Where have they been? How will you make sure the students know where they are
going?
What experiences do the learners bring to the unit? How have the interests of the learners been ascertained? Have the
learners been part of the pre-planning in any way? What individual needs do you anticipate will need to be addressed?
Learning environment: Where can this learning best occur? How can the physical environment be arranged to enhance
learning?
By the end of this unit, my students will be able to identify factors that influence nutrition, the four food groups, major
nutrients and be able to create appealing meals with those major themes in mind. Everyday students are faced with an
overwhelming amount of information about nutrition and food. In the past all of these students have eaten food, whether
it be nutritious or non-nutritious, they have all formed an opinion on health and have created their own food habits. The
science of nutrition can be complicated but eating healthy can be so simple. To allow students to convey to me what they
already know, student centered discussion for each aspect of nutrition and healthy eating will be used. The students will
know where they are going via the first lesson. During the first lesson the entire outline of the unit will be laid out for
them, showing them that they not only will gain information about nutrition but also have the opportunity to create their
own nutritious meals. The students interest will be incorporated into the unit by allowing them freedom in their final
meal creation. Students will also have the opportunity to steer the discussion about nutrition in a way that interests
them via asking questions and influencing topics. The students were part of the pre-planning in the way that each
student brings their own unique food habits and cultural background with regard to food. Nutrition effects all the
students, so allowing students to critically think about different aspects of nutrition incorporates them into the planning
of the lessons. The learning for this unit can best occur in both the classroom, the foods lab, the school/cafeteria, and the
grocery store. Students should become familiar with al spaces that are involved in the creation of a healthy and
nutritious meal. Differentiated instruction is achieved in this unit by providing the material in different instructional
ways, this includes the visual, experiential, and verbal learning. Students will also self-evaluate and reflect on their ideas
often. The rubric for the final assessment task will be co-created as well, allowing students input on how they are
assessed, this will help students know where they need to be at the end of each assessment.
Students are headed to social justice after the lesson on food issues. This lesson is designed to make students think about how our food
system used to be and how it has changed today. I want students to leave the classroom taking what they have learned in the classroom
and apply it to their own lives. How we in Canada moved to commercial production and how we need to move back to small food
production, personal gardens, community markets etc.
By then end of the tracking food lesson students are headed towards making steps forward in their lives with nutrition and exercise.
Getting proper nutrition is a life long endeavor and this lesson teaches them ways to grasp this knowledge with tools they have easy
access to such as their phones. My goal for this lesson is to start students off early with the tools and technology to help them become
healthy adults.

How will you engage students at the beginning of the unit? (motivational set)

Students will be introduced to the unit by discussing the question, What is nutrition? This is followed by watching a
video of Jamie Olivers TED Talk. The video is a great way to introduce the topic by outlining the nutritional epidemic that
is present in our society. The video will be followed by a general large group discussion on the importance of nutritional
diets and educating individuals on the benefits of healthy eating. The group discussion will give me a general feeling for
the students knowledge of nutrition. This will be done via targeting questions.

What events will help students experience and explore the enduring understandings and essential questions in the unit?
How will you equip them with needed skills and knowledge?

Considerations Comments
Required Areas of Study:
Is there alignment between outcomes, Outcomes are achieved by means of multiple assignments, labs and reflections.
performance assessment and learning Self-assessment is another aspect of their summative assessment. Students
experiences? show their understanding of nutrition and major nutrients through reflections
that will ask student opinions on different aspects of the unit. Students will co-
create their final rubric, thus having an understanding of what is expected from
their final product. Students will self-assess their lab work multiple times
throughout the unit. Students journals will be assessed for completion at the
end of the unit. This unit is focused on student centered learning and
experiential learning.

access to the curriculum.

For students who need a challenge:


- Will be asked to conduct a research project on social organizations that
help bring nutritious food to marginalized communities with in
Saskatoon. Will have the option to present their findings to the class.

Cultural Revisions-
- Students will be able to have more choice in the topics they research
