Task
Kids,
we need to find the problem with what Jethro eats!
We can help him eat
better so he can play with his friends at school and with his dog when
he gets home.
We
will form six groups the Milk Group, the Meat Group, the Vegetable
Group, the Fruit Group, the Grain Group, and the Fats and Oils or
"Other" Group.
Once you have
researched the different kinds of foods that are in your group and what
you need from your group to stay healthy, you will pick a list of foods
from your group that you want to include in Jethro's diet. Once you
have all completed your research you will create 3 meals - breakfast,
lunch, and dinner, and a snack, for Jethro.
Keep in
mind that it is ok to have some foods that are not very healthy, but how
much of each thing is what is important. Your grade for this assignment
will be based on how correct your food choices are and on how well your
group worked together.
Process
1. Divide the
class into groups of 6.
2. One person
in each group will choose the food group in which they want to be the
expert.
3. Using the
resources provided in the WebQuest each member will research his or her
food group. You must learn what foods belong to your food group and how
much of each should be included for Jethro to eat each day.
4. Each group
of six will now discuss what they discovered about their food group and
why they chose the foods on their lists.
5. Now the
different foods must be put into the 3 meals and the 2 snacks for
Jethro. Each member of the group will pass in their own copy of
Jethro's daily food plan. Every student will include either a plus (+)
or a minus (-) sign, next to each group members' name. Put a plus sign
if that member of your group did their part and helped the group, put a
minus sign if you felt that some one in the group did not complete their
tasks for the group
