Students will practice identifying and calculating the amount of money needed for the desired expense and calculating how much money will need to be saved each month in order to attain the expense.

This AVID strategy of layering focused notes is the perfect instructional routine to display for any class in any subject area! Layering is a strategy that clarifies the second and third phases of the focused note-taking process by asking students to revisit their notes multiple times, thinking critically with a different purpose in mind.

Why layering?

Each layer added to the notes is completed in a different color, so a student’s interactions are visible to the instructor and to the student. This not only allows the instructor to assess the quality of the student’s thinking and interaction with the content, but it also solidifies learning about the process and the content itself. Additionally, the use of color enhances retention for visual learners.

Instructional Goals

Students will:

• Add layers of thinking to their notes to process and connect their thinking.

• Use colors to show their repeated interactions with their notes.

Materials needed

If taking notes on paper, students will need a variety of colored pens, colored pencils, highlighters, and markers to use for the note-taking layers.

Directions

• Provide time for students to complete each layer by adding to their notes with a different color.
• Work on one layer at a time. Consider whether developing learners need more structure or fewer components to add during each layering session, compared with more experienced note-takers.
• Have students keep a key to indicate what color is used for each layer (they can make their own key or use the example.)

The "Media Affecting Food Choice Workbook" is a must-have resource for educators teaching about media influence on food choices and promoting healthy eating habits. This comprehensive, fully editable workbook includes engaging readings, insightful lessons, and practical tips to encourage balanced diets and informed decision-making.

It delves into the critical analysis of media influence on food choices, addressing key curriculum strands such as:

• The impact of advertising, marketing, and media on health and nutrition decisions.
• The role of cultural, societal, and marketing factors in shaping dietary habits.
• The development of communication skills for promoting personal and community well-being.

Lesson Highlights:

Lesson One introduces students to the importance of balanced nutrition and the five food groups. The reading section provides an overview of the role different nutrients play in maintaining good health, encouraging students to reflect on their own food choices.

Lesson Two focuses on food labels, teaching students how to read and interpret them to make informed decisions. The reading section covers information found on food labels, including serving size, ingredients, and nutritional value, fostering critical thinking about daily food choices.

Lesson Three addresses the influence of media on our food choices, including social media, advertising, and social norms. Students learn strategies to be more mindful of these messages and develop healthy strategies to resist negative influences.
