Students will gain a sense of self, community and place through critically thinking and evaluating their daily diet and the food sources available to them i.e., school, home, etc. The aspect of engaged citizens will be incorporated through discussing the issue of organic and healthy food being more expensive than the non-healthy alternative. In examining this, students will discuss and research how to eat healthy on a budget and what measures can be taken to lower the cost of nutritious foods, i.e., buying local, community gardens, personal gardens, expansion of green spaces. Students will learn the issues of nutrition among different cultures and how the diets around the world influence their nutrition. How people in different geographical regions have different nutritional needs. Students will be familiar with the food industry of today and how it has changed the way we eat and receive our food. Students will continue to develop skills using technology to transform their learning, this will promote life long learning as technology is always changing and being able to adapt and learn with the new technology will help students succeed in their futures. Cross curricular Competencies How will this unit promote the CCC? The Cross curricular competencies are developing: critical thinking, identity and interdependence, literacies, and social responsibilities. These competencies are promoted throughout this unit in multiple ways. Students will develop their thinking through both large and small group discussions, in which they will be encouraged to voice their opinion about a range of topics under the nutrition umbrella.
