✓Lesson information

In this chapter, the main text introduces 3 old grandfathers who are living younger and healthier than that age of other grandfathers. From this text, students have some impressions about the importance of health. I want to focus on here. As I introduce more reading materials, I let them think about their health and healthy life.

 

✓What are these reading materials?

Because of this reason, I chose various reading materials. These very different reading materials can expand and add some useful information, and also put some diverse schema to students.

The first reading material is <six health tips>. It is not too long and written by easy words, so students can read this easily and they can get a useful tips for health.

The second one is <5 factors of good health>. It is quite similar with the first reading materials. These factors are very natural for keeping good health, but students usually hard to think about them. Therefore, it will be very useful.

The third text is the introducing of <WHO> (World Health Organization). It is famous organization for health, but many students don't know about it in detail. I found a site of introducing WHO, so students may enjoy this site and new information about WHO.

The last text is related with <Obesity>. The obesity of adolescents is increasing now. I want students to read this text and I hope that students notice the danger of obesity and the importance of eating food.

 

✓How can we use these reading materials?

I prepare some after-reading activities.

After reading the first and second reading materials, students will make their own health chart. These reading materials are related with tips of keeping good health, so students could make their own health chart based on these reading materials. I will leave the text for WHO as an extensive reading material. If students get useful information from this reading material, I think that's enough.

After reading <Obesity>, I let students check their health condition in scientific method. Although I used a word 'scientific', if students use just official and famous method for checking their health condition, any kinds of methods will be OK. After checking their health condition, they have to send me a result of it.
