PURPOSE
PE. 6. 3. 03: Indentify lifestyle behaviors to increase
physical activity (i.e. taking stairs, walk/ride bike to school)This lesson is
for the sixth grade students to come up with different ways they can improve
their normal lifestyle behaviors. They will be required to first think of
normal ways in which they do certain activities, i.e. getting a ride across
down the street to a friend’s house or something of that nature. This is for
any days that the student has missed due to excused absences or if they have
missed an assignment at school.
DESCRIPTION
From this lesson the student will be able to think of different healthier options that can increase physical activity in their normal lifestyle behaviors.
THE TASK
This is to help the students out and spread the word to
other who may be trying to stay fit on a day to day basis.
Students will need to be able to access a computer and have
a ride to different locations around town in order to collect as much
information needed as possible.

PROCESS
Takings stairs, and walking or riding your bike to and from
school are some options. Research and/or ask others what some other options are
to increasing physical activity. Type up responses and print and hand in the
next time you come to class.
The lesson will be done individually and everyone will have
to weeks to complete the assignment.
ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION
Students will present their completed task to the class as
if they were giving a wellness lecture. Students will be graded on their
content and they will also hand in a hard copy for me to grade as well. All of
the ideas will be put together and handed back to the students for ideas if they
want to possibly help others.
