Strategies and Behavior

This is the template I use with fifth students to create a "Calorie Calculator". Different cells are shaded in various colors to provide scaffolding and additional guidance during instruction. Students code the sheet so that all they do is type in the grams of each energy nutrient and it provides to total (SUM) calories.

After students build their calorie counting calculators, each group is assigned a pre-created template that uses nutrition labels (without calories) from local fast food restaurants. They collaborate in teams of 3-4 to determine calorie values of the nutrition labels within the file.

This is the presentation used in the lesson. Much of the time is dedicated to students learning through experimentation with occasional guidance when necessary.

Students use these email examples to analyze and compare professional and non-professional email correspondence.
