Procedure

We discussed the meaning of Health and Well-Being and I provided a list of key vocabulary necessary
The student made up index cards and a Quizziz
I read The Monster Health Book by Edward Miller where good practices and food groups were discussed
I presented the Nearpod presentation Your Healthy Lifestyle
The student read the ReadWorks article, “Taking Charge of Your Health”, which was also translated for her (being that she is emerging) and she answered comprehension questions

Reflection

This is a great lesson, but I personally think it would have been better with more than 1 student. Unfortunately, I only had one student in my stand alone class this year. It would have been more interactive and fun for them if they were doing things cooperatively.
