Minor Project #2: Nutrition Education Lesson Plan

Your second project is connected to the other two projects. Here you will develop a lesson plan; the lesson plan will be the guide you follow for your major project, the nutrition education presentation. The topic is the same as the nutrition concern of your target population you selected in the ungraded Discussion post in Unit 2. The lesson plan is to summarize the areas covered in your presentation and the steps to be followed throughout the presentation. Lesson plan to include:

• Creative title (This should point to your topic.)

• Topic (From the ungraded Discussion post in Unit 2.)

• Target Population (From the ungraded Discussion post in Unit 2.)

• Time duration: (Specify either 15 or 20 minutes.)

• Objectives (You Must have at least 3 objectives and no more than 4 {remember, your presentation is only 15-20 minutes}. Refer to Chapter 11 {pages 281-286}).

• Procedures: Includes: o Introduction to audience o Body of lesson including props and activities o Closing

• Method of evaluation (Refer to Chapter 12 {pages 318-327}).

• Materials needed (Be specific and detailed.) Format:

• When setting up the lesson plan, use bullet points as I have done here. The objectives should be written in complete sentences and follow the correct format as found in the textbook. The procedures should be in paragraph form, explaining the details of your presentation of information. This is where you will include any activities you will be incorporating into the lesson.

• Remember, to know your objectives were met, there must be a method of evaluation. The method(s) must align with the objectives you developed. Evaluations generally occur at the conclusion of a lesson; examples include asking the audience questions, playing a memory game, having audience members complete a worksheet, etc. This is an integral part of counseling and presentations.

• Under materials, list all materials needed for the entire presentation. This should be detailed (educational handout your previously prepared, lesson plan, small expo board, expo marker, props, etc.). Be specific; list everything you would need it you were actually giving this presentation to the community.

• The layout of the lesson plan should be typed, in your own words but rather easy to read and follow. You should organize the lesson plan in a logical order of how you would naturally present it. Again, this lesson plan will be used in the major project presentation, so it should cover every topic you want to address with your audience.

Refer to Chapter 12 (pages 328-330), for more on Lesson Plans and Program Plans, and pages 318-327 for more on Types of Evaluations and Outcomes and Data Collection Techniques. Important: Be sure you do not use the template in the text; follow these instructions. Also, if your topic and target audience are similar to the two lesson plans shown as examples in the textbook, be sure you develop a plan that is your own and shows your original work. The lesson plan assignment is worth 75 points.
