(Keep this part a secret until the end of the lesson)
Throughout the lesson, students will participate in various
ways, reading, asking and answering questions, etc. as each student voluntarily
participates, he or she is to be rewarded with a heart (handmade or store bought) At the
end of the lesson, each student will be asked to tally his/her total of hearts and the
answer is to be reflected in the total impact of the whole lesson which is to say:
"the hearts you have accumulated represent your active and voluntary participation in
maintaining a healthy heart which means you are at a much lower risk for developing heart
disease or heart failure."
"On the other hand, those who have the least amount of
hearts accumulated represents your lesser voluntary participation in maintaining a healthy
heart which puts you at a greater risk for developing heart disease/heart failure. The
choice is yours: it is up to you decide whether to be an active or inactive participant in
ensuring you have a healthy body and a healthy heart and possibly a longer life!"
Focus for viewing
To give students a specific responsibility while viewing " The Heart" and
segments, each student will think of and write a question(s), thought, remedy, pertaining
to the topic and be prepared to present It during the Q and A time.
Ideas: Think of someone you know who takes good care of their
heart/health and relate to the class, based on your observations, what that person is
doing to be so healthy .
Think of someone who does not take good care of their health
and what according to your observations are they doing to hurt themselves?
Think about our own health practices -are there some ways you
could improve how you are taking care of yourself and what are they? What would you
suggest researchers do in order to utilize and promote faster, more advanced
healing/surgical technologies?
