Artifact # 7
Context: This file was composed during the spring semester of 2000 during my Health Education in the Elementary School class at Appalachian State University.
Impact: This file would be available in the classroom as a resource for students, parents, teachers and other faculty. It contains many different health topics that would concern students in the 4-6 grades, and their parents. Students would have access to the file when they wanted to learn more information about health topics. It would also serve as a resource for teachers to use when trying to introduce a health lesson into the classroom.
Alignment: Locating information about health resources and topics
to have in your classroom is essential for your students in grades 4-6.
Putting together a file of information about health subjects took some
research and locating of information. I had to find many different resources
that would provide me with pamphlets of health information. In the processes
of finding all the materials to use, I found places that I could continue
to go to for additional resources for the classroom. Such places as a dentist
office, a drug store, and health clinics. Before placing items in the vertical
file, I had to evaluate them and make sure that they would be appropriate
material for 4-6 graders to view. (Tech Comp.
