STAGE III: Plan Learning Experiences and Instruction 1.Materials: Computers/Quiz/Handouts Procedures Step 1)

T: Present their personally made Prezi highlighting main points and explain in further detail the topic. Pass out handout of and focus questions for the lesson. S: Ask questions or give feedback about content during lecture. Step 2) T: Teacher will divide students into groups of three S: Will select a topic from the 4 main points we discussed as a group Step) 3) T: Will instruct students to research their topic using the internet and save any multi media which may aid in their presentation.

Students will look to find answers to the focus questions regarding their topic during research. Step 4) T: Teacher will answer questions and help when needed during presentation construction S: Construct Prezi in groups and ask appropriate questions to solve problems Step 5) T. Will instruct students to save finished work and create a link so it may be graded S. E-Mail Prezi Link to teacher

3) Closure: Students will be given a 4 question quiz listing the four environmental concerns and respond with how they can affect health.

4) If time activity: Students will present their Prezi in class if given time
