__**Assessment**__
Students will receive a problem-solution chart to explore the nutritional factors behind diseases**..** Students will participate in a think, pair, share activity to gather more information for the chart**.** Students will develop a storyboard for their movie based on the think,pair, share activity.
 * Formative (Assessment for Learning)**


 * Summative (Assessment of Learning)**

Students will be given a quiz over various lifestyle related diseases to check for understanding. The final product will assess the students knowledge of one particular disease, and the nutritional choices that led to it. This information will be conveyed through a video.

__**Differentiated Instruction**__
Logical: Students will examine various statistical data about lifestyle related diseases. Musical: Students will add audio sounds and music to their video. Linguistic: Students will add informative text to their video. Interpersonal: Students will interact with classmates during the think,pair, share activity. Naturalist: Students use pictures from nature or film outside for their video. Bodily-Kinesthetic: Students can use action and movement in their video to explain the concepts.
 * Strategies**


 * Modifications/Accommodations**

**I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.** Absent: If a student is absent, they will first check the class wiki to see if there is any work that can be done at home (ie-reading/research) and see teacher about making up the assignment. **Extensions** Students will reflect on food they eat regularly, and bring in or research the nutrition facts.
