Hello,
Our middle school uses Teacher Advisory periods to connect with
students each morning and provide small group peer support. Our TA
activities are based around a theme that changes each school year. This
year, our faculty group has chosen Wellness and Nutrition as our theme,
specifically focused on healthy choices about foods, drinks and
exercise. Can anyone suggest books or web sites that would have some
activities we could use in TA periods? Anything you've used in
nutrition units that has worked especially well? Our school also does a
One School, One Book program around the same theme. We've chosen Chew
on this: everything you don't want to know about fast food by Eric
Schlosser. However, we fear that the reading level of this selection is
too high for about half of our students. We'd like to find some
nutrition and wellness books that would cover similar material, that are
readable, but that don't look like "baby" books. Any suggestions?
Thanks for all your help!
