In an attempt to promote healthy foods, I have decided that this Thursday is going to be Hummus Day. It is something easy for us to make (using only a few ingredients and a blender) in class. More information to follow. Friday we will begin our preparation for next week's debates. We will divide into debate groups of 3, assign debate topics, and learn how formal debates are conducted.
Wednesday, Jan. 13: Complete Section 38-2 Assessment Questions 1-5 (p. 984).
Thursday, Jan. 14: Bring in 3 "Nutrition Facts" Labels from food or drink items from home. For each label answer the following on a sheet of paper:
- Look at the Total Carbohydrates section. Is the carbohydrates in this food item more fiber or more sugar? What are the grams of each?
- Look at the Total Fat section. What kinds of fats are provided by this food item (such as saturated fat, Trans fat)?
- From the Nutrition Facts, is this food item healthy? Why or why not?
Have a great week,
-Mr. Pfiester
PS. We will not be completing Section 3 of this chapter. The short chapter test next Monday will only cover Sections 1 and 2.
