The document outlines a project-based learning activity where students will document everything they eat over 7 days in a blog. They will then create a menu of nutritious meals and cook one meal at home. Finally, students will write a 200-word reflection on what impacted them most. The goal is for students to learn about making healthy dietary choices. Assessments will include rubrics for the menu, blog, cooked meal, and reflection. Students will develop skills in nutrition analysis, meal planning, cooking, and self-reflection through completing this project.

2. If you suspected that a student was not receiving proper nutrition at home, what actions might you take? Be specific.
3. In this benchmark assignment, you will be planning a Wellness Fair for the students and families of your kindergarten class. The Wellness Fair will incorporate the mini-lesson plans you previously created in this course. You will also create a digital invitation to the Wellness Fair.
Part 1: Mini-Lessons Rationale
In preparation for the Wellness Fair, review the health, nutrition, safety, and fitness mini-lessons you designed throughout the course.
In 250-500 words, write a rationale explaining your instructional decisions for each wellness lesson. Make sure to include how those decisions directly support the characteristics and needs of the “Class Profile” students.
Part 2: Wellness Fair Event Plan
Health, safety, nutrition, and fitness are topics you have been teaching to your kindergarten students through your mini-lessons; however, it is also beneficial to educate the families on the same topics. Therefore, your goal in this section is to design a wellness fair to educate the families on these topics so they can support their children at home more successfully.
In order for the fair to be effective, you will need community support to assist in providing educational booths in the areas of health, nutrition, safety, and fitness. For this part of the assignment, you will create a 1,000-1,250 word plan outlining the wellness fair for your students’ families, including how you will involve the community.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Worsham 542 final project
1. Worsham 542 Completed Project<br />Begin with the End in Mind<br />Summarize the theme for this project. Why do this project? The project theme is creation of student blogs, filled with photos, videos and descriptions of everything my students eat for 7 days and nights. The idea is for the students to learn how to collect then analyze data, then create a plan to make positive changes in their diets. They will be required to create a menu of nutrient rich, lower calorie foods (research) (two days or 8-12 meals). Cook and/or prepare one of these meals at home (under adult supervision) and have that adult take pictures or video of the event. Make sure to take a picture of the final product before eating it! Finally, after reflection, they will write a 200 word summary of what impacted them most during the project. The blog will need the artifacts mentioned above to be displayed online. This project should be done because it could help extend lives and provide better quality of life.Identify the content standards that students will learn in this project (two to three per subject).HE H.S.1: Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health.HE H.S.2: Students will analyze the influence of family, peers, culture, media, technology, and other factors on health behaviors.HE H.S.3: Students will demonstrate the ability to access valid information and products and services to enhance health.HE H.S.4: Students will demonstrate the ability to use interpersonal communication skills to enhance health and avoid or reduce health risks.Identify key skills students will learn in this project.List only those skills you plan to assess (two to four per person).1. Ability to identify healthy food alternatives to what they currently eat. 2. Write out a healthy meal plan for at least 8-12 meals. 3. Identify food eaten and estimate calorie content.

http://www.chsvt.org/wdp/Habits_of_Mind_Curriculum_VT_WDP.pdfDoes the project meet the criteria for standards-focused PBL? YES<br />Driving Question:<br />What impact can project based learning about healthy eating have on students after examination and reflection of their own illustrated food journal? <br />Sub Question: <br />What makes up a healthy diet? <br />Could you afford to eat that way from now on? <br />How are these healthy items prepared? <br />What are the best fast food alternatives for people on the go? <br />What are the best resources you can find, that make learning about good nutrition simple? <br />How many meals per day do you eat? How many snacks? <br />What time do you stop eating most nights? <br />What is your exercise routine? <br />Why is caloric content important to know? Where can it be found? Is high calorie always a bad thing? <br />What are good fats? <br />What are nutrients and how are they important? <br />Where can I find out what the most nutrient rich foods are? Where can I access them? <br />What is the daily calorie recommendation for you? <br />How many of your calories are from high sugar drinks? <br />Identify the characteristics of a quality driving question and explain how your driving question meets those criteria. Explain how an entire unit can be created around your driving question with a subset of additional questions. <br />A good driving question needs to inspire thoughts, research, an creative narrative about the subject at hand. It should require higher order thinking. This project's driving question will have an in depth artifact full of data that can provide lots of answers. One should enjoy asking questions that can result in positive change. <br />This project is going to be a replacement for a traditional quot;
Nutrition Unitquot;
for a high school Health course. It will include teacher guidance and explanation, however student internet research will be frequent. Students will spend time learning and practicing the technology skills of research, photo upload and editing, blogging and more. They will also create a menu, as well as cook a meal. This will all result in a blog that show everything eaten for one full week, with description, research on nutrition, reflection, and finally a written impact statement about the whole experience. Every key vocabulary word, state standard, and far more will be addressed during the time it will take to complete this process. <br />Plan the Assessment<br />Products will be produced by the students during this project, including: a Menu/Diet Plan (rubric), a Blog, Cooking a Healthy Meal (photo or video evidence) and a 200 word summary of what impacted them most (rubric).

If possible, another student who speaks both English and the ESL students native language will be allowed to consult with each other as needed. The most important way to assist students with disabilities is to read their individualized Education Plan. This tells you what they can do and what their current learning goals are. After reading this plan, you can make accommodations for these students that will assist them in successfully achieving the learning goals of the project. Although Para Professional support will not be available in ones classroom, one does have the option to send students with disabilities to get support in other classrooms.
