Session 5

 Dear students, 

We are wrapping up Unit 2! Can you believe it?

• During this session, everything that you have learned will come together in task 5.1. You will create a Google Slide presentation to showcase how important it is to have a balanced diet. 

1. Choose a person (a family member, acquaintance, celebrity…) and create a personalized meal plan for 5 days. Include: 
1. A profile of the customer (gender, age, lifestyle information, dietary restrictions)
2. If there are dietary restrictions, draw a food pyramid. 
3. Create a table for the meal plan: 5 days a week, 3 meals + 1 snack per day (2o meals). 
4. Include a cell for physical activity. 
5. The last slide will be a short report (150 words max.) on how to have a healthy lifestyle.
6. You can repeat meals but the plan should include, at least, 10 different meals. You can make small changes by changing the type of meat, protein, nuts,...

Please, remember the focus is on being healthy, not on losing weight. 

The meal plan will be uploaded to Padlet (column #5). A rubric is uploaded to Google Classroom so you can see how your work will be assessed. 

• The last activity (5. 2) for today is an exit ticket. Please, twitter questions/takeaways for this unit. I will take both into account to prepare for our Unit 2 review before the exam.

Session 3

 Dear students,

We're going social!

• During task 3.1, you will edit the template* below. 

• There are three templates. You need to edit all of them so each one includes one meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner).

• Download the slides and upload them to our Padlet (column #4).

• Comment on, at least, 2 other posts. The comments should be positive and focus on the nutritional aspects we are studying. 

• These are some structures you can use: 
• Your meal is healthy/balanced because it includes…;
• It also has… 
• I see you are eating…which contains/has…

• Don't forget to use Unit 3 vocabulary: 
• Portion, serving
• Food groups (fats, fruit and vegetables, cereals, meat and fish, nuts,...)
• Vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates,...

• You will be assessed taking into account: 
• Your 3 templates (3 pictures and their captions should be included).
• Comments to your classmates' posts (at least 2 positive comments that include the structures and vocabulary mentioned above). 
• Negative comments will deduct points from your final grade for this task.  

• During activity 3.2, we will work on NearPod (slide 7):

• Read the text about Julio Basulto, a Spanish nutritionist. 

• Do the 'drag and drop' activity on slide 8. 

• Go to Google Classrooms to read the text again as many times as you need. Then write: 
• Two rules with 'must'. Think about this: what does Julio recommend doing?
• Two rules with 'musn't'. Think about this: what does he not recommend doing?

• Check the rubric so you know how you will be assessed.
