Gregorc Learning Styles

• Concrete Sequential – collect, classify, and organize, data.  Hands on computer learning.

• Abstract Sequential - Power Point/Pamphlet project.  Evaluate and critique, all information gathered.

• Concrete Random - utilizing internet for research.

• Abstract Random - collaborative work with the members of the group.

 Multiple Intelligences

• Verbal/Linguistic - Power Point/Pamphlet presentation lecture in  front of the class and at the  back to school night.

• Logical/Mathematical – preparing a seven day nutritional, physical and health activities.  Calculating calories/BMI.

• Visual/Spatial – preparation illustrations, cartoons, graphs, and researching designs for the Power Point/Pamphlet.

Bloom’s Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain

•  Knowledge - the students will define obesity

•  Comprehension - they will describe childhood obesity in their own words

•  Application - they will be able to determine BMI, calculate daily calories, and activity requirements

•  Analysis - they will be able to organize and analyze nutrition and activity requirements to develop their
   program

•  Synthesis - create a daily meal and activity plan for prevention as part of a presentation/pamphlet based
   on research made.

•  Evaluation - they will share information learned, evaluate & critique it, to determine which is most valuable
   to use in the program

Using Rehearsal to Enhance Retention

• Students will be doing individual research by viewing multiple internet sites

• Discussing with each other to assemble the final Power Point Presentation or Pamphlet (teaching others)

• Presenting their final collaborative program in the class for evaluation

• Presenting again during back to school night (teaching others)

Sense and Meaning

• The webquest will have sense and/or meaning for the students.  It will make sense because they will have experienced concerns about body image and peer acceptance based on how one looks.  It will have meaning, because the research information will have relevance to their lives and will reinforce information previously learned.
