What a great week with the students. They have worked on several types of projects as they continue to learn about nutrition and its benefits. We created several games to play in class and then share with the middle school. Although we are in high school, a middle school is also on our campus as part of Westchester Academy. This is an opportunity for the high school students to share information to another age group and in doing so, several things are accomplished: in order to teach/talk about a subject, one has to study and prepare ahead of time...part of the learning process is repetition, so students are hearing information over and over...a testing stratagy is to have students explain or respond to a prompt, students sharing this information with others achieves all of these stratagies.
CUBE GAME:
the above work sample is a game students created with technology to enrich our nutrition study.
Students uploaded pictures of fruits and veggies to the cub pattern. Another cube is made with questions such as "what are vitamins found in this food" "How can you prepare this food"
Students cut out the cubes and placed them around a cardboard cube to give it support. Then students got with a pratner to make a team. 2 teams were assigned to a particular area and then faced off. Random cubes were placed at each face off location w/ answers. 5 mins for each round, and students rooled the dice and answered as many questions as they could. The winner moved up a spot and the loser moved down a spot. Students were rewarded with apple slices at the end of the game.
