** BUILDING HEALTHY EATING HABITS FOR CHILDREN ** The image "Organic fruit and vegetables"( Run three seven, 2011)

The Girly Geeks Group consists of Lorraine Vann, Anna Natonewski, Masumi Richardson and Christina Harmsen. We have put together a lesson plan for students aged year 7 (11-12 years) based on the topic Nutrition. Students will be put into groups of four and will work together to present a project on WikiSpace which will link to their weekly progress on a group blog page on Tumblr.com. In the lessons, students will use the resources we have linked to in the contents to research the positive effects of eating healthy and the negative effects of eating unhealthy. The students will document their findings on Tumblr.com and link to WikiSpace in their own groups homepage. Using their new found knowledge, they will select a nutritious and healthy lunch using the websites we have provided in the contents. They will then cook their healthy lunch in class with help from adults. The students will take photos of their lunches and will then present their final project which includes the research of healthy and unhealthy eating, recipe of their nutritious lunch and a photo of their lunch in either Powerpoint, Word, Tumblr.com or creating a recipe card on skiptomylou.com. See the links below that support our lesson plan.
