As the nice weather was approaching and I overheard students started discussing the latest fad crash diet for whatever reason, I couldn't think of a better time to talk about healthy nutrition and exercise in Spanish class! Before we even started the unit, students blogged for five days about what they ate, how many minutes of exercise and how many hours of sleep they had each night. (My initial plan was to have pen pals from Spain simultaneously blog about their diet, exercise and sleep patterns and then have the two groups of students do a cross-cultural comparison of each others' habits; however, it did not work out and this component of the project was left out.) After talking about using the subjunctive tense, students went back to each others' blogs and reflected on their own habits and make reccomendations for each other.
For the final project, the students turned into personal trainers and made five-day meals plans complete with exercise reccommendations for another student. The first attachement is an explanation of the project and the final two attachments are examples of student work.
