Healthy Living in My Community Unit Package

We have created a free unit plan and lesson package for teachers that will meet English Language Arts, Physical and Health Education and Applied Design, Skills and Technologies curriculum requirements. The unit plan is ideally suited for grades 5-10 but can be easily adapted to suit younger or older grades and the package may be implemented in full or partially, using one or two lessons as desired.

Unit Overview

The Healthy Living in My Community project will bring community stories of healthy eating and active living to the classroom through the creation of story maps and through hands-on experiential learning. Students will learn about the importance of health and will be connected to programs in their communities; they will use and build up their creative, critical thinking and communication skills and reflect on lifestyle and other factors which affect their health. This project builds off of AICBR’s Healthy Living Inventory maps, developed in 2016 to enhance collaboration and information sharing for advancing healthy lifestyles in Yukon and Northwest Territories’ communities.

The full unit package will take you through step-by-step how to deliver the unit and contains all student handouts, assignments and lesson plans for teachers.

Teacher Lesson Plans

We know that lesson planning can be time consuming for teachers and that is why we’ve created everything that teachers need to have to implement this unit into the classroom.

Student Handouts & Assignments

The handouts and assignments can be integrated into the classroom in sequence or as stand alone lessons. Just print and teach!
