| Title | Ideas for a Health and Fitness Unit |
| Body | Here are some ideas for a health and fitness unit from FLTEACH users: We do a skit which the students turn into a video. Its similar to Extreme Makeover (or a program like it) where the students need to include a work out section (to practice commands, excuses), a makeover section (to practice body parts) and 2 commercials (health related products). The students are asked to use imperative, preterit and present tense. Schriever, J. Re: Health and Fitness unit ideas. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 19 Apr 2007). --- I used to put commands (formal or informal depending on previous studies) with health and fitness vocabulary. We then did "ads" for how to be a healthy person. Your "ads" could be oral (a TV or radio commercial) or written (magazine ad is 8X11, billboards are poster boards, or TV ad could be a power point. They had to use X many vocabulary words and X number of both positive (Drink water every day) and negative (don't eat high fat foods) commands. I graded it on grammar, appropriate graphics and minimum requirements of vocabulary. Barrios, M. Re: Health and Fitness unit ideas.

It works great to re-energize everyone and stay in the language AND practice vocab. Blaz, D. Re: Health and Fitness unit ideas.
