how many other people are on it – it doesn’t seem to be as active

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I attended the ACHPER PD on VCE Health & Human
Development and have already implemented quite a few of the ideas I got from
it. I would especially like to thank Andrew Beaumont – my students
loved the concentration game so much some of them have made cards for other
subjects to help them learn definitions.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>We have also modified ‘celebrity nutrient’ to be
more of an ‘animal, mineral, vegetable’ type game – who said
kids don’t like competition . . .we even have a weekly champion!!</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>One of the things I introduced early in the unit was
‘news’. At the beginning of our double period we share a news
item. I ask each student to come prepared but not all of them share each
time (it would take too long). The aim behind it was to broaden their
horizons and general knowledge particularly when it comes to unit 4 and world
events / geography. However I have found it to be really effective and
the students are bringing some great topics to class. We try to match it
to the content of the class each week but basically any health issue will
do. My weaker students tend to double up and use articles from English
but I don’t see a problem with that because it still enhances their
understanding. Anyway, a simple idea but it generates a lot of
discussion.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

– given our geographic diversity these lists are a great way to
‘meet’</span></font></p>
