Planning
This lesson was done for two different classes. My class and a different grade five class! It was a successful lesson that taught what it was meant to. Serving size was the big attention getter as students were shocked at the actual size a serving looking like if you live a balanced healthy lifestyle based on the Canada Food Guide.

What is healthy balanced eating look like?
Ben's Dream is a book by Chris Van Allsburg and this was on of the books that the students were working on as part of their literature studies in Language Arts. In this lesson, I initially read the book to the class and then took the class on a “virtual field trip” which basically incorporated a series of pictures with facts about the pictures. The “virtual field trip” has the focus of mimicking that book about great landmarks around the world.
In all, the lesson was a fun and entertaining way to enjoy literature and comprehend the book and aspects of its hidden meaning.
