I think that the concept of having students to use healty lifestyles and Spanish together reinforces the need for establishing better habits. When I think of the three healthy lifestyle habits, I think - eat the right foods, get enough exercise and get enough sleep. The stress element is to me result of not following the other three. How do you evaluate the level of stress in our daily life?
ReplyDeleteI think that these questions are great. The students will really see how they need to live a healthy lifestyle y ellos pueden practicar su espanol. Que bueno!
ReplyDeleteI think you have a good start to your unit. Your questions seem appropriate. Will this include healthy foods from both American and Spanish cultures?
