Unit Overview

Content Area: World Languages

Unit Title: Live Healthy/Vive Sano

Target Proficiency Level: Novice-High Language Learner (For an understanding of this proficiency level, see the 2009 World Languages Standard document.)

Unit Summary In “Live Healthy,” students explore American and Spanish views on healthy living using a range of culturally authentic learning materials, such as websites, music, graphs, and food labels. As they do, they reflect on their own habits, develop materials that promote a healthy, active lifestyle, and consider the impact of food allergies on today’s youth. Through a series of scaffolded learning activities, they strengthen their interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational skills.Primary interdisciplinary connections: Health and Technology 21st century themes: Global Awareness and Health Literacy

Unit RationaleDeveloping awareness of healthy lifestyles and practices, including childhood obesity, is an important factor in preparing today’s youth for living well in the 21st century. By grounding a study of healthy living in a cross-cultural comparison, students have an opportunity to critically reflect upon their own healthy lifestyle and to compare their own cultural views with the products, practices, and perspectives of others.
