Brett Livingston Lesson Plan Activity: Students will be able to blog their diets for a week to monitor how many calories they are ingesting. They will also relay their feelings of how their body feels after eating. Their directions would be to respond to one new person in their class, once per day for the week or month. I’m not sure which I would have them do first, because I would like to make it a homework assignment for the week, not once a week for the month. Students will be able to calculate their caloric intake for the week and determine whether their diets are healthy or not. They also will be able to calculate their calories lost due to their physical activity. This would be set-up on an Excel sheet, so the chart below is just an example, as are the calories. The Chart would look similar to this: Date Food Calories Total Calories Activity/Time K/Cal. burned Feeling 9/23 1 orange 35 35 OK    9/23 1 cup milk 110 145 OK    9/23 Cereal 235 380  OK    9/23 Jog/ 30 min.  220 Great 9/23 1 cup milk 110 490 OK   9/23 1-6 inch hoagie 450 940 OK    9/23  3 servings Fries 900 1840 Bad 9/23 Football/ 60 min. 200 OK   9/23 1 Soda/Cola 210 2050 Filled 9/23 Pizza (4 slices) 1400 3450 Horrible Totals for Day 1: Total food ingested for 9/23: 3450 k/cal Total Activity (burned k/cal) : 440 Total Gain of Calories: 3010 RUBRIC: ENTRIES : Include dates of entries and activities 1pt.
