Learning Objectives

1. Discover safety and sanitation practices.2. Evaluate safety and sanitation measures in various settings. 3. Create a visual presentation of a food borne illness.

Activity 1• Research-Based Strategy • Summarize learning in a graphical way – students will independently

create a digital mind map (Popplet) on information regarding safety and sanitation

• They can add images to illustrate ideas• Once completed, they will share their Popplet with classmates on

Google Classroom • http

• Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy Levels• Remember/Understand, Apply

• Resources and Instructional Tools• Internet research on safety and sanitation• Create mind map using www.popplet.com

Activity 2• Research-Based Strategy • Students will go on a trip to the school cafeteria• Work in small collaborative groups to analyze the safety and

sanitation measures our school takes• Students will each take notes on key safety and sanitation practices

that will lead conversations• After the field trip, students will write a reflection paper• https://cft.vanderbilt.edu/guides-sub-pages/teaching-outside-the-cla

ssroom/

• Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy Levels• Analyze, Evaluate

• Resources and Instructional Tools• Chromebooks (to write reflection paper)

Activity 3

• Research-Based Strategy • As a culminating project, students will be creating an Animoto on a food

borne illness• Requirements regarding information to include, specifically writing

aspects• Must include short captions in the video, so they will have to use the

inquiry process to analyze, summarize, and synthesize informational text• Students will peer review another classmate’s project to make revisions• https://teal.ed.gov/tealGuide/teachsumm

• Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy Levels• Create

• Resources and Instructional Tools• Internet research on assigned food borne illness• Create video using www.animoto.com
