__In Class__:

1. Examine the following presentation about reducing screen time. You should be familiar with all strategies and lessons discussed.



__Homework:__

1. List as many negative effects of excessive (too much) Screen Time as possible. You can do your own research on-line or use the powerpoint, or recall from Health Class but make sure you cite your source (say which website you got it from). Top marks go to people who have the most effects and who explain them effectively in their own words. Do not copy your friend's answers.

2. List as many ways as possible to reduce screen time. Provide alternatives and explain limiting strategies. Some of you may be doing this already. How might reducing your screen time positively impact your life (what are the benefits)?

3. Personal Connection: What "screen" (device) do you spend the most time accessing per day? Ex. TV? How much time per day do you spend on it?

4. Why are video games such a negative influence on children / teens?

__Extra Marks:__

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Design a system that a family can use at home to monitor screen time (wall chart, popsicle stick, etc).

__Class #3 (Tues. Dec. 10 Day 3 Per. 2): The Food Guide__

__In Class__:

1. See the following Power Point about Canada's Food Guide.



__Homework:__

1. Go to the [|Health Canada] website. Complete and print your own personal Food Guide ("Get Your Copy"). Bring it to next Health Class.

__Extra Marks:__

1. Present the Nutrition Definitions in a creative way. Choose ONE of the following: -Create a crossword (use all 14 definitions). -Write a brief journal entry about a day in the life of ONE or TWO of the definitions. -Create a poem, rap, or song verse about nutrition featuring the definitions. -Prepare sample test questions (with answers) for all 14 of the definitions (True / False, Multiple Choice, Matching, Fill in the Blanks, etc.).

__Class #4 (Wed. Dec. 11 Day 4 Per. 5): Case Studies__

__In Class__:

1a) Case Studies (#1, #2, #3) were handed out to students - not everyone was given the same character. Students must read both sides of the Case Study: __Front__: Profile of Student + __Back__: Tips from Career Corner.













1b) C omplete the Case Study Worksheet ("Real Meals For Real Kids") below FOR THE CASE STUDY THAT YOU TOOK IN CLASS (either #1, #2, OR #3). If you were absent for today's class or left without getting a Case Study, choose one from above (either #1, #2, OR #3) and complete the Worksheet below. Do not copy a friend's completed Case Study as the penalty for plaguerism (copying) is a zero.



2. The "Interesting Facts About Junk Food" handout below is for your own knowledge - it is fun and interesting (and a bit shocking)!



__Homework__:

1. Finish the Case Study Worksheet for your character.

2. Pretend you are preparing a lunch for a favourite person (hero, idol, family member, teacher). You really want to impress him / her with your knowledge of healthy eating and Canada's Food Guide (it has to be a healthy lunch). Describe exactly what you would prepare and why? Make sure you focus on portion / serving sizes and other tips from the Food Guide (ex. variety). You can use this website for help: [|Health Canada] but do not just print out another copy of the Food Guide. Hand your special lunch creation meal on an regular 8.5 X 11 document (the more dynamic the better). Be creative!

3. List 5 things (points) you learned from this Nutrition / Healthy Eating Unit. Make sure each point is broad and important (i.e., more than a sentence). For example, a good point might be about why children are becoming more obese today (serving and portion sizes, salt / sugar in their diets, lack of exercise). An example of a poor point might be: "Junk Food is bad for you." Each point should be **at least** 2-3 sentences. The better explanation of what you learned, the better the evaluation (higher marks)!

__Extra Marks:__ *You can do one, or both for even more extra marks!

1. Complete the Case Study Worksheet for all three characters (they are available above). DO NOT COPY A FRIEND'S WORK!

2. Find 10 additional facts about Junk Food. On-line, print research is acceptable. Research that you have "heard" or that "someone told you once" is not. Type the facts on a document and hand them into Mr. Mann. MAKE SURE YOU CITE (REFERENCE) WHERE YOU GOT EACH OF THE FACTS FROM (which website. magazine, newspaper, etc., you got the fact from).

 * __SUBSTANCE USE UNIT__: **

__Class #1 (Wed. May 7 Day 3 Per. 2): Intro & Classification__

__In Class__:

1. We opened the unit by discussing what is a "substance" (anything we put into our bodies) and how all substances fall under one of three categories: Stimulants / Depressants / Hallucinogens. These three categories indicate what the substance does to you CNS (Central Nervous System) and your five senses. All substances affect your actions, perceptions, and behaviours. Remember that some substances have multiple classifications! **We want to be armed with good information for when we go to Gr. 8 and high school so that we can make good decisions about our health and say "NO" to harmful substances**. Recall that the term "substances" basically means the more popular drugs and different types of alcoholic beverages. Here is the final copy of the chart that we did in class:



__Homework__:

1. Prepare a typed report that answers ALL of the following questions below about MARIJUANA and **one** **additional substance** from this list: Alcohol / Hashish / Ecstasy / Steroids / Cocaine / Crystal Meth / Mushrooms / LSD / Prescription Drugs. *NOTE: YOU MUST USE YOUR OWN WORDS - DO NOT CUT AND PASTE INFORMATION FROM A WEBSITE and say it is yours! Also, do not plaguerize a fellow peer's report.

For information, access the following links: [] []

__Questions__: a) How is the substance classified? Simply list. b) Is the substance legal? Explain in 2-3 sentences. c) What are five short-term effects / dangers of the substance? d) What are five long-term effects / dangers of the substance? e) Find two statistics about the dangers / usage of the substance. You must indicate which website / source you got the information from or else your answer won't count. f) Why did you choose this particular substance? Explain in 3-4 sentences. g) How dangerous is this substance? Explain in 3-4 sentences.

__Extra Marks:__

a) Which substance or drug is most popular for teens? Groups debated this and had to come to a consensus (agreement). Answers were tallied on the board. b) Which substance or drug is most dangerous for teens? Groups debated this and had to come to a consensus (agreement). Answers were tallied on the board. c) What is a "Gateway Drug"?


 * *While this was going on, I checked your homework from last class: 1) Answers to question #1 a-g about Marijuana + one other substance. **

2. We watched the video on Marijuana and took notes. If you were away for this class - you missed a very informative video and should catch-up by borrowing a peer's notes and re-writing them yourself (this is for marks!). You must have the notes to get the full homework marks and they cannot be photocopied.

3. We distributed a cool and handy magazine called "DaFacts." It is about various substances and teens. Students are allowed to keep them and are encouraged to show them to parents. The magazines are also needed to complete the homework below:
