私のお皿：食品グループの紹介

In this one-time lesson, students will learn about the United States' model for healthy eating: "My Plate".  After introducing ourselves, we will dive right in!  First, we will discuss what makes a food "healthy".  I will teach students that our bodies need a lot of different types of foods to grow and be strong.  "My Plate" shows us the different types of foods we need, and about how much of each kind.  Next, we will practice categorizing foods into each of the different food groups.  To review, students will get to play a game called, "Name That Food" to practice their new knowledge of food groups.  

This lesson will require students to use a third-party application called "Pear Deck".  "Pear Deck" is a wonderful program that allows students to write on the teacher's slides, drag objects, and engage with a lesson in creative ways.  It is easy to use and will require students to use theirs or a parent's email address.  The email address will not be visible to other students.
