worker or facility is shown. Have students brainstorm other workers and
facilities in their community.
Instructional Procedures:
Step 1. Students will choose one health or safety worker. They will make a
list of that worker's duties. Library books, encyclopedia and possibly the
Internet would be used to research duties. Students will decide which
healthy habits their chosen worker would want to teach others. Student will
teach that healthy habit to their class.
Step 2. Students will continue researching the health worker that they chose
for their lesson. They will compare the tools and methods of that worker
with the methods today. Students will write a paper in which they find
differences , similarities and make a conclusion. The conclusion will answer
the question 'Which way do you think works better?'
Strategies For Diverse Learners:
Health/Safety Worker Charade Write each of the safety/health worker job on a
different file card. Choose one child to pick a card from the pack. Ask the
child to act out the job of the safety worker written on the card. Have the
other children guess which job is being acted out. Continue until all of the
jobs have been acted out.
Assessment Plan:
All writing conventions should be assessed in the Compare Activity.
