Literacy Unit

So far I don't think that planning a literacy integrated unit plan for Health has been too difficult. We chose to do health because we figured it would be easier than physical education since there is a lot more that can be done with integrating reading, writing, and speaking skills with topics in health education. My partners and I have been working on a nutrition unit plan for sixth graders. I think we are on the right track with our planning, but I hope we are doing the whole backwards planning the right way. We want the students to understand the importance of proper nutrition and have come up with many lessons to develop their understanding. The only thing that we really struggled with was listing the core curriculum content standards for language arts, I'm not sure if we listed all of the appropriate ones because there are so many and we aren't familiar with them because we are used to working with only the health and PE standards.
