= SCAFFOLDING ACTIVITY NUMBER 4 - THE FOOD PYRAMID: = = =
 * This week the unit of work on the 'Road to Delhi' takes a different shape, and starts to focus on the diet and nutrition needed by the athlete. This aspect ties in nicely with the SACSA framework, as students are required to understand what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and the long term health benefits associated with regular activity. Within this week, students are asked to try and remember what they had to eat for the last couple days and record it in a specific format.

= = =**__AIMS:__**=


 * Students show an understanding of at least one food selection model (eg The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating). SACSA (Health of Individuals and Communities, KC 1).

=__**EXAMPLE 1:**__=
 * Breakfast = toast with vegemite and butter and a glass of juice.
 * Lunch = sausage roll with sauce.
 * Dinner = pasta with chicken.

Students are to repeat this to the best of their ability for the last 3 days, including drinks and snacks throughout the days.


 * Once they have done this, they will be given a '//food pyramid worksheet'.//


 * Therefore students can analyse their food and place each meal into the specific category. They will then write a 500 word report on whether their diet is healthy or unhealthy and why? This uses cross-curricular links of English and Home Economics.

 * Using the food pyramid, students will interview a member of their family and analyse their diet, and can finish off their 500 word report if they didn't finish it within the allocated class time.
