Health Education for Secondary School Teachers (HCSV 451)
SEMESTER PROJECT
This project has four parts:
Part 1: (30 points) Creation of an age-appropriate, active, fun, learning tool for use in grades seven through twelfth. This tool can be used individually, in pairs, small groups or with an entire class at one time.
The tool can be created entirely by you to be used by you to
teach the students health content.
The tool can be created entirely by you to be used by the
students.
The tool can be created by individual students or by groups of
students.
Part 1 of the project requires you to make or prepare a health-related game, activity, art lesson, instructional material, lesson props etc. -- a tangible thing --- that will be used in a lesson or a set of lessons.
Part 2: (25 points) Compose a one to three page handout on how to replicate this item you have created and use it in the classroom as part of the health curriculum. This paper must include the following headings and the appropriate information for each heading:
Content Area: choose one from the Framework
Grade Level: choose the age group you would most like to teach
Objective: (make it measurable) What is the point of doing this activity or making this product. What will the students be able to do afterward that they can't do now.
Content Outline: Provide all the information you expect the students to master because of your product and its use in health curriculum, (content: use summary of key facts in outline form)
Product Replication: Describe how to make it and how to use it in the class. Provide enough detail that another teacher could replicate it. Attach masters for copying or diagrams for recreating the item(s).
Materials: List all the materials one would need to replicate your project.
Bibliography: If you used any references to develop your idea, list their full bibliographical information.
Suggestions for integration into other areas of the health curriculum: List ways one could use this product to bring in content of other health areas. Use complete sentences.
Suggestions for integration into other disciplines: List ways one could use this product to address content in other disciplines. Use complete sentences.
This paper must be typed, double-spaced, with a ribbon bold enough to be read in normal light. Make enough copies for each class member and two copies for the instructor.
Part 3: (25 points) On the presentation date you have been assigned, prepare an exhibit that will allow you to display explain, and demonstrate your tool to the class in five minute intervals. Have enough copies available for distribution.
When planning your presentation, imagine that you are at a national education conference giving a poster session on your project/tool/activity to other teachers who have traveled from all over the country to learn new teaching ideas. Introduce yourself to each group. Wear a name tag. Keep your speaking within the five minute limit. Maintain eye contact with your audience. Avoid using notes when you talk. Encourage and answer questions. Create an experience where they can't wait to try out your idea with their own students.
Part 4: (10 points) On the days that you are not presenting, you will be given peer evaluation forms to complete. Absence on the presentation days or failure to complete the evaluation forms will result in points removed from your project's score.
