1st Activity: Concept Map

Health is a major issue that is a valuable topic throughout students' lives. We forget and often take for granted the knowledge and implications our health has on our lives.

__**Step 1:**__ The first task requires you to brainstorm as a class what you know and want to know about health. The four categories that I would like you to further investigate are: Drugs, physical wellbeing, social interactions and diet (eating habits). __**Step 2: **__With the use of a web 2.0 tool called, [|Bubbl.us] you will need to create a concept map with the Major topic being ‘Health issues’. As a class students need to consider:

· What they know about each sub heading · What they want to know about each subheading

2nd Activity:  Social Blogging  The social blogging assessment piece has been designed as a reflective tool and will be used to enhance your (the students) learning. The Blogs will be assessed on students’ knowledge and understanding, student interaction, planning, reflection and creativity. =Getting started:= = Student sample 2: =
 * __Step 1:__** In groups of 4 students will collate their findings of health issues presented by Mr Bita on a weekly blog suggesting your results, thoughts and progress.

 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 140%;">Your blogs must be a reflective record. That is it can address your major glog assignment, what you learnt about the weeks topic, how you will use the knowledge for your assignment or simply a discussion that shows you are interacting with your fellow classmates.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 140%;">The weekly blogs must be no more than 150words
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 140%;">They are to be submitted every friday by 3pm

[|My reflection of health issues (eating habits)]

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> Hi fellow grade 9 students, This week, Mr Bita taught us specific health issues related to eating. Poor food choices and eating behaviours are often the cause of lifestyle diseases and illness. The awareness of food choices, eating habits and energy requirements is important factors to consider in increasing positive nutritional outcomes and good health.I reflected on my eating habits for the week and it suggests that I don't eat not nearly enough fruits and vegetables. I thought my fruit sticks that I eat everyday for lunch were nutritious however, it is mainly refined sugar. Can you please find out what you are eating so we can report back to each other as to what we should be eating and what we shouldn’t be? Thanks, Cody Posted by HealthyChoices

Hey Cody, A few fellow classmates and my self slowly went through the kids health website provided by Mr Bita and it is a great website that helps you with all aspects of health. It can be found on our class wiki SmartChoices01 under resources. The name is kids health. If you look under the staying healthy page or the cooking recipes page you will find great tips and information on how to maintain healthy as well as information that can help us with our project. From, Anne [|October 13, 2010 2:40 AM]

 [|HealthyChoices] said... Hey classmates, I went through the kids health website also and there are some awesome fun games to play. I am thinking about drugs as my topic for the glogster project and there is some awesome information and pictures that I think I will be using. The website helps you understand what drugs are, why they are bad and all negative aspects about drugs that has already made me less curious about trying them. If anyone else is thinking of doing drugs as their topic, let me know and we could help each other. Thanks, John [|October 13, 2010 2:40 AM]

 [|HealthyChoices] said... John, I have also chosen drugs as my main topic. I have found heaps of information on the health in site webpage. This is also on the resource page. All of the resources provided by Mr Bita have information on all topics so finding information won’t be hard. I have already learnt that drugs such as alcohol can cause us to feel sleepy in class, smell, and be slow to respond to our friends or the teacher. The web link is: http://www.healthinsite.gov.au/topics/Interactive_Health_Activities We should definitely help each other out and maybe meet up to work on our glogsters. I have already signed up to glogster and it looks very difficult. There are so many different things to do on there and if we work together we can guide each others glog. Hope this helps, Kristy
