Identify
evaluation procedures that complement the experiences you selected and
organized for the nutrition objective in EDUL 6020.

Learning
Experience #1:  Students will
research information for the requirements of a balanced meal based on the RDA
by age of the student.

Evaluation
Procedures:  Each student will complete a graphic
organizer listing everything they know about requirements of a balanced
meal.  Students’ responses
will be listed on a class chart.
Students will complete the research.  Students will complete a second graphic
organizer listing all they have learned and now know about requirements of a
balanced meal based on the RDA by age.
Students’ responses will be listed on a 2nd class
chart.  Students can evaluate
themselves as they compare their responses from the first graphic organizer and
chart and the second graphic organizer and chart.  Discuss what students thought they knew
and what they actually found to be true.
The graphic organizers, charts, teacher observations, discussion and
student evaluation will provide evaluation for this learning experience.

Learning
Experience #2:  Students will
analyze recipes for ingredients that meet the food guide and nutrition
requirements.

Evaluation
Procedures:  Students will work in small groups to
analyze the recipes.  As students
work, the teacher will observe and record comments.  Each group will explain their analysis
of the ingredients.

Learning
Experience #3:  Students will
analyze food labels brought from home to determine if they meet the daily
requirements.

Evaluation
Procedures:  Students will
create a chart of the daily requirements.
Students will check off each of the daily requirements that each food
label meets.  Students will orally
share and explain their charts/checklists.

Learning
Experience #4:  Students will
plan a balanced nutritious meal based on the study of the RDA of the food
pyramid.  They will cook and serve the
meal for the parents at school.

Evaluation
Procedures:  Students will
provide a menu listing each dish and the food group and RDA it contains.  Students will explain to their parents
why each dish meets the RDA and fits the requirements on the food pyramid.

Learning
Experience #5:  Students will
collect data on classmates’ breakfast choices.  Using the data, they will create a graph
categorizing the choices into the food groups defined in the food pyramid.

Evaluation
Procedures:   A jointly created rubric will be used for
self-evaluation by students, peer evaluations and teacher evaluation of the
completed graphs.
