Study Guides (Blue paper)- Study guides will be given to students 2 classes before the day of a test. Study guides will not be graded but are for students to be prepared for the chapter test
Health Articles- Students are responsible for 10 health articles per marking period. Students may find these articles in newspapers,magazines or online. When using online articles they should make sure it is a reliable source. Some good online sites are www.kidshealth.org www.medlineplus.com www.cnn.com/health www.health.com . After finding a health article students will read the article and write a summary containing 3-4 facts that they learned from the article and attach it to the article before handing it in. Health articles are worth 5 points each.
Projects- At the conclusion of each unit we will also do some projects that may include making collages or role playing a situation in which a teen is faced with peer pressure. Projects are worth 10 points each.
I hope this helps you have an understanding of what Health-7 will have to offer for your child. If you should ever have any concerns or questions feel free to email me at ddickens@cal-mum.org
