Lesson Plans

Reinforce health concepts with outside readings selected especially for students. Each reading is accompanied by a complete Lesson Plan with teaching strategies, discussion questions, and activities. The Lesson Plans are organized into three areas: Reading Skills, Cross Curriculum, and Media Literacy. The articles are intended to be taught along with specific health topics, as indicated, or can be used anytime to enhance the health classroom by focusing on students’ reading skills, by introducing a variety of relevant curriculum areas, or to enhance critical thinking with important media literacy skills.
