Welcome to the 2nd Nine weeks of Nutrition and Wellness. While we did not do very well on the Wikispaces last quarter, it is my goal, I hope, that we can use them to our advantage. Some project assignments will be on the wiki, and some will need to be picked up from me, so please take time to always check this space for any assignments and explanations that you might need in order to complete them. If you have any concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or e-mail me.

Day 1 October 20/21 Review Vitamin D Lesson 8 and Fiber (Lesson 13) Due next period

Day 2 October 24/25 Receive Nutrition report assignment- Hand in by using the drop box (Due date October 27 at the end of the day) Please note- Let Mrs. Opbroek know what topic you have chosen so that we don't double up. Don't forget to put your name on the first slide. This assignment needs to be done in your own words and not copied and pasted from your source. All sources need to be cited on your last slide PS Obesity is already taken

Day 3 October 26/27 Finish up Power Points

Day 4 October 31/November 1 Review and Do day Now it is your turn to review four of the other powerpoints made last week. First download and copy the "self evaluation" portion of the Nutrition Report directions. You may print them or save them as Nutrition Report self evaluation with your name at the end. Next open the HandoutsNW folder in the dropbox.com. Evaluate your powerpoint along with 4 other of your classmates using the self evaluation rubric. When you are done with evaluating the powerpoints, you may hand the self evaluation in by putting them into your personal NW dropbox or printing the evaluation and handing it back into me. Due dat for this is Nov. 3

After you are done evaluating the 5 powerpoints, complete the following KWL chart about My Plate using the article that you found about My Plate. Remember that this is just one article and that we are going to be learning about the segments of My Plate in the next few lessons.

Day 5- November 3/November 4 Thanks for some great power points on some worthwhile topics. Your grades will be in your personal NW dropbox for your viewing. Our next topic is My Plate. This, as you have discovered from the articles you read, is the replacement of the Food Pyramid. It takes a little getting used to but does make health sense, especially after viewing Syndey's powerpoint. My plate stresses the importance of increasing fruits and vegetables and paying attention to serving size. Your next project,then, is to go to www.choosemyplate.gov and review each section of my plate. We will be having at least one assignment for each section, But the other assignment is for you to make a "My Plate Powerpoint that includes information about each food group. You can get most of this information, but remember to use your own words and NOT copy and paste. Due date for this is at the end of the period on Monday/Tuesday Novemeber 7/8

Day 7- November 9/10 Wow what a lot of information that My Plate has to offer. As I am looking at the Power points that are already handed in, there are some things to remember
 * Be Careful of pictures of foods, because some of them may look like a serving and yet be more than the recommended amount.
 * My plate guidelines are for ounces NOT servings, so we need to be careful when looking at the labels and pay attention to the ounces/serving. For example- A serving of meat in the old My Pyramid was 3 ounces(the size of a deck of playing cards). That would take care of 3 of the 6 ounces recommended for a day.

Day 9- Your next assignment, then is to take a look at labels and see what they say about portion sizes. One of the common Grains that people eat are boxed cereals. Using the boxes of cereal that all of you brought, do some comparing of cereals along with serving sizes, cost, taste, etc. Complete the Cereal rubric. Then write a paragraph revealing your findings. Include what cereal you would buy as a consumer and why. What criterea would you use? Would it be different if you were concerned with nutrition or cost? You can send me the completed Cereal rubric along with the paragraph to your personal dropbox. Due date Nov.16.

November 16/17- Super size Me.. I am waiting for a copy of this documentary to be downloaded for our next assignment-

Research Food Sanitation lesson 32 (2-1/2-2)

Day Research Food Safety Internet lesson 31(2-1/2-2)

Day 11- **Supersize Me**- Watch this documentary and answer the attached questions while you are watching

Day - complete the lesson on Meal Planning- Get the lesson from me.

Now, try your hand at planning a daily meal plan for you that would satisfy the the new My Plate requirements. You can use the suggestions from www.choosemyplate.gov to help you for each meal, but you must choose your own foods. Keep in mind the serving sizes, and appeal of the food(variety of color, size, shape of the food)

Day - After practicing meal planning and learning that going large may not be the healthiest option, complete the following "Fast Food Project" A couple of things to note-
 * For the first chart pretend that you are going to your favorite 4 fast food restaruants and can order whatever you would ordinarily order. (#2) and (#3) Then do research on healthy ways to eat fast foods.(#4 and #5) Then go back to your favorite restaurants and see if you cand adjust your choices to make them healthier. The second chart is what you would choose. (#6)

Your final project: If you have problems putting foods in I have also attached some key things to make sure that you are doing...
 * If you can not find the restaurant or meal you are looking for, you can also google the name and most businesses will now have nutrition information someplace on their website.
