Michelle My Bell Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I want to do a "free" health class for my daughter using library books websites Documentaries project ideas ...for next year. I would love help coming up with topics and materials to go along with those topics. I will probably look into a few outside courses, such as getting her certified in CPR or maybe babysitting training by the Red Cross. Any additional ideas?

Cosmos Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Great idea, especially since the standard health textbooks aren't very appealing. Drugs -- Drug Free World Digital Literacy -- Common Sense Media (has lesson plans K-12) I guess that's not really health, but it includes things like cyberbullying.

Another Lynn Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 This thread on the high school board is about health. OhElizabeth posted a list of topics she began brainstorming (post #8). http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/510997-what-to-use-for-health/?hl=%2Bhealth&do=findComment&comment=5586336 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I am doing this now. :) I am constructing the objectives and topic outline. I should be done in a few days. Track me down on Friday. I should have it outlined. I have pinned a bunch of resources, and I will have reading and assignment pages over the next week or so. Because it is a semester course, I am scheduling 60 hours. I am looking at the typical standards required of the course of 4 years in which certain topics can be appropriately covered as part of biology too. Some things I plan to delay as part of coursework, but that does not alleviate the requirement for a half semester of health. On a similar topic is the one year of physical education. We are doign quarter credits, to include classes and sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 OK ... I have a sketch of some of it now. I analyzed core areas of focus based on the national health standards. I did take a non-religious approach, yet I am leaving room to approach beliefs and values from both a family and religious perspective. I have outlined resources, fiction and nonfiction, as well as selected projects. It will more than robust enough to qualify for 60 class hours and take 18 weeks to complete. I will post some of it here and later on my blog the details and outline in a printable format, but so that you can see how the course will form and the target of study ... Blog post Open and print First week example (later today) All will be tweaked over the next few days, but there are there as I promised. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
