Instructional Ideas

• Use in a peer counseling club or in a high school health class
• Encourage learners to keep track of their healthy and unhealthy choices throughout a set period of time, noting improvements or patterns

Classroom Considerations

• Addresses topics that would be most appropriate in a mature classroom (e.g. drug and tobacco use), but most of the activity are still applicable for middle school as well as high school
• Does not include a rubric; assessment method is up to the teacher
• If learners are unfamiliar with spreadsheet formats, convert the survey into a basic document or worksheet

Pros

• Provides all necessary worksheets and directions
• Emphasizes the importance of healthy habits beyond hygiene and nutrition

Cons

• None
