Teaching Materials
Positives
- Students will love creating their personal doughnuts and "sprinkling" them with what they need to be happy and healthy.
- The lesson activities do an excellent job of building background knowledge through students' individual experiences and connecting them to the broader idea of being part of a society.
Prerequisites
- Teachers will need to print and prepare the doughnuts prior to the activity.
Differentiation & Implementation
- In the reflection section, students can do a think-pair-share with each of the questions to ensure all students have a chance to reflect.
- Teachers can connect this lesson to climate change by discussing how our actions impact others' ability to be happy and healthy, both now and in the future.
- During the balance activity, students can act out how they feel with too much of something to increase engagement.
