407575_Gr5_Less05_Layout 1 9/8/11 2:18 PM Page 80 Activity 1: Goal Setting Purpose: To set a goal to eat the amount of food in one food group recommended by their MyPyramid Daily Food Plan. A. Briefly review MyPlate. Then ask the following questions. What do the five sections of the plate remind people to do? (To eat meals that have foods from the five food groups and to make half of the plate fruits and vegetables) What s the purpose of the personalized MyPlate Daily Food Plan? (To tell people the recommended amounts of foods in each food group they should eat) Why should people try not to eat more than those recommended amounts? (By not eating more than those amounts, they ll help their body stay in energy balance.) Besides healthful eating, what else is important to do every day? (To be active by doing moderate or vigorous physical activities) B. Ask students to take out Handout 6B. Ask volunteers to report on the comparison of the amounts they recorded in the Estimated Total Amount column and in the Recommended Amount from MyPlate Food Plan column. C. Ask students what they learned in the last lesson about taking one step at a time. (When you re making changes toward more healthful eating, take one step at a time rather than try to change everything all at once.) Tell them they are going to put that idea into practice by setting a goal. D. Distribute Handout 8: GO for the Recommended Amounts. Remind students that when they set a goal, they decide what it is they want to do and when they want to do it, and then they try to do it when they said they would. E. Read, or have a student read, the goal statement. Then explain the procedure as follows: Look at Handout 6B. Choose the two food groups you re going to use in your goal setting. You might want to choose the two that show the greatest differences between the amounts in the two columns. 80

407575_Gr5_Less05_Layout 1 9/8/11 2:18 PM Page 81 Write down these two food groups and the recommended amounts for them that you recorded from the MyPlate Daily Food Plan on the web site. Your goal is to eat the recommended amount for one or both of those food groups during one day. Write the date when you ll have completed your goal; that Goal Date is. [Give students the date of Lesson 6.] Sign your name on the My Signature line to show that you ll try to achieve your goal. Activity 2: Discussion Purpose: To apply the idea of variety and healthful eating to bag lunches. A. Tell students they are going to learn about a kind of bag lunch that will help them stay in energy balance. Explain that a bag lunch might be packed for a field trip, a picnic, a hike, or a car trip and, of course, to eat at school. B. Poll students to find out how many of them usually bring a bag lunch and how many usually eat a school lunch prepared in the cafeteria. Use the dialogue box below to point out the following: School lunches include a variety of foods from the five food groups in MyPlate. A bag lunch can include a variety of foods too. And you are about to get some practice planning this kind of lunch. C. Project Transparency C. Read the definition of a GO/Variety bag lunch. Emphasize that this kind of bag lunch is the most healthful. D. Point to the lunch at the bottom of the transparency. Use it to demonstrate how students will determine whether a bag lunch is of the GO/Variety kind. Explain the procedure as follows: 81

407575_Gr5_Less05_Layout 1 9/8/11 2:18 PM Page 82 First, decide how many food items in the lunch are GO foods. Let s write a G, S, or W in the first blank after each item. [Answers: Swiss cheese S; 100% fruit juice G; low-fat, whole-wheat crackers G; turkey without the skin G; cucumber slices G] Are more than half the foods GO foods? (Yes; 4 of the 5 are GO foods) Next, decide which MyPlate food group each food item is from. Let s use the same codes you used for your MyPlate Worksheet. [Answers: Swiss cheese D (Dairy group); 100% fruit juice F (Fruits group); low-fat, whole-wheat crackers G (Grains group); turkey without the skin P (Protein group); cucumber slices V (Vegetables group)] Are the foods from at least 4 out of the 5 food groups? (Yes) Is this lunch a GO/Variety bag lunch? (Yes) Now let s look at other kinds of bag lunches that aren t as healthful. E. Project Transparency D, and read the definitions of the other kinds of bag lunches. Point to the bag lunch at the bottom as you explain the following: Let s find out what kind of bag lunch this is. Look at the first blank after each food item to see whether it s a GO, SLOW, or WHOA food. Are more than half the foods GO foods? (No; 3 of the 6 foods are GO foods, which is half but not more than half.) Look at the second blank after each food item to see which MyPlate food group it is from. Are the foods from at least 4 out of the 5 food groups? (Yes) Which kind of bag lunch is this? (No GO/Variety) F. Tell students that by using their GO-SLOW-WHOA List and what they have learned about MyPlate, they can pack a great GO bag lunch containing a variety of GO foods. Activity 3: Group Work Purpose: To evaluate a bag lunch and modify it so that it includes a variety of GO foods. A. Tell students they are now going to evaluate a bag lunch. Explain the procedure as follows: 82

407575_Gr5_Less05_Layout 1 9/8/11 2:18 PM Page 83 You ll work in groups to evaluate food items that could be in a bag lunch and decide which of the four kinds of bag lunches you ve been given. Then, as a group, you must decide how you can modify, or change, the food items so that the lunch will be a GO/Variety bag lunch. The leader of your group will write down the new items you name. B. Project Transparency C again, and ask a volunteer to read the definition of a GO/Variety bag lunch. Stress to students that they must modify their bag lunch to fit this definition. C. Tell students they will use Handout 5: MyPlate and their GO-SLOW-WHOA List to modify their lunch. Ask them to take out these handouts. D. Remind students that foods listed in the Fats section and Other section of the GO-SLOW-WHOA List are not in the five food groups. E. Assign students to groups, and designate a leader for each group. Distribute a BAG LUNCH directions sheet to each group, and briefly go over the directions. Emphasize the information in step 3: (1) they can have no fewer than four and no more than six food items in the modified lunch, and (2) they must count each food item of a combination food as a separate item. As an example, explain that a tuna fish sandwich would consist of three items bread, tuna, and mayonnaise. F. Tell students approximately how long they have to do the activity. Monitor them as they work to make sure they have understood the directions. G. If time permits, ask group representatives to briefly report on the kind of bag lunch their group was given and how they modified it to be a GO/Variety bag lunch. H. Congratulate students on their work. Activity 4: Homework Purpose: To be given recognition for participating in Health Trek 3 and to receive Health Trek 4. 83

407575_Gr5_Less05_Layout 1 9/8/11 2:18 PM Page 84 A. Point to the Health Trek Scoreboard, and ask all students who turned in a completed Health Trek 3 return slip and have a checkmark under Health Trek 3 on the scoreboard to raise their hand. Congratulate these students. B. Remind those students who have completed Health Trek 1, 2, and/or 3 but have not yet turned in the return slip to do so as soon as possible. C. Encourage those students who have not completed Health Trek 1, 2, and/or 3 to try to do so as soon as possible. Ask those students who are having problems doing the homework, or finding an adult to participate with them, to talk to you soon. D. Distribute Health Trek 4: MyPlate. Point out that the tip sheet provides information on MyPlate and guidelines for healthful eating. It also includes a game for home teams to play to review GO foods and GO activities. E. Instruct students to write their name and your name on the return slip on the back side of the tip sheet. Then have them write the date you will teach Lesson 7 on the DATE DUE line. F. Encourage students to complete the tip sheet with their parents as soon as they can. G. Optional: Remind students that if they turn in at least four out of the six return slips they will receive a reward. Activity 5: Summary Purpose: To review the main points of Lesson 5. A. Point out that one step in breaking through barriers to GO eating is to gain knowledge. Expand on this as follows: Now you know about MyPlate and its reminders to be active, to eat a variety of foods, and to eat the amounts of foods in each food group that are recommended for you. The next step in breaking through barriers is for you to put this knowledge into practice whenever possible and this includes when you re packing a bag lunch. 84

407575_Gr5_Less05_Layout 1 9/8/11 2:18 PM Page 85 B. Distribute Handout 9: Bag a GO Lunch. Encourage students to use this list for some great suggestions for GO bag lunches. Tell them to read this list before the next lesson and be ready to name the idea they liked best. C. Encourage students to meet their goal to eat the amount of food in one food group recommended by their MyPlate Daily Food Plan. Food items/supplies for the GO Breakfast activity in Lesson 6 should be arranged for and ordered in advance from your cafeteria manager or parent volunteer(s). (See the GO Breakfast Activity section at the end of Lesson 6.) 85
