Students will read 3 articles on meat diets and vegan diets and decide which diet works best for them and their families. After reviewing the articles of choice write a future plan for eating that will incorporate your dietary model. Example: Me and my family have decided to become vegan and practice a plant-based diet. We will eat salads, broccoli, beans, fruits and etc.., for a week to experience the vegan diet. If you decide to go meat diet you do the same for it.
Look up the terms self-esteem, high self-esteem, low self-esteem and decide which one fits you best between high/low? After deciding which fits you best write a short sentence explaining why you believe so? Next you are to define the terms anger and stress? Think back over the last 2 weeks or so and share a situation that you were angry/upset. Provide details of what caused it and how did you react? What is the difference between eustress and distress. How do each impact your bodies and your daily lives? Find an article of your chosen pertaining to stress, anger, life expectancy, meat diet, vegan diet, or self-esteem and write a 2 page report that gives great details about your topic. This paper should consist of a body of information that illustrates what the topic is about. Example: Stress
Researchers say in 1965 it was discovered that many people suffered from stress because they were out of work. Other statistics report that many who returned home from the war had suffered from post traumatic stress. I think you get the picture. Always conclude with a closing paragraph that is in your own words about your thoughts/feelings concerning your essay.
Students will define the term goal. Students will distinguish between what is a short term goal and long term goal. Students will list 3 of each for themselves. Ex. Become a policemen, teacher, fire fighter, doctor, lawyer, own my own home, purchase a vehicle, own my own business (long term)
Ex. Make all A's this semester, clean my room, study for test, watch my favorite movie on TV, call my friends, pass to the next grade.
After compiling this information on goals you are to write an essay on one short term goal that will take you a few weeks to a month to accomplish and one long term goal that will take you at least 5 years or longer. This essay needs to include the steps you plan to take to achieve those goals.
