Students are testing over chapter 7 and will be taking a stress test after they complete their assessment. My objectives are for them to analyze different stressors in their lives and make an action plan to assist them in dealing with that stress.

This week we are finishing chapter 7 and moving into chapter 8. Students have completed their PowerPoint and are preparing for their test. I have used to Flashbacks from chapter 6 this week and one checkpoint. The checkpoint questions was: “What have they learned up to this point that you have found most useful in day to day living?” I collected some great feedback from this checkpoint. Many students found the Nutrition Fact Labels the most useful information so far in my class. Many of the students mentioned the Nutrition unit for the most part.

Today students took a personality test where they answered different questions about themselves. This self assessment was a tool used in class to help students understand their personality and how they interact with other personaliies. Tomorrow they will review a PowerPoint where they will view different insights of their own personality. This personality activity is called “True Colors”. So far the students seemed to really enjoy filling out their sheets.

Students are completing a study guide today. This study guide is worth a test grade of 100 points. Students will also view an episode of Dr.Phill over anorexia nervosa. The students seem to be interested in the different eating disorders and how they affect people pschologically. I hope this chapter helps students realize how important proper nutirion is in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
