The Importance of Hydration

Katie DeTreux & Tylar Smith

 ● Auditory: As a pair we spoke clearly so all

Learning Styles students were able to understand what we

were stating throughout the course of our
lesson.
● Visual: We presented a PowerPoint
presentation in which the students were
able to view the slides and we also
included videos, and pictures.
● Spatial: Students had to create four water
droplets with four different facts on what
they learned throughout the lesson. The
students were also asked to incorporate
key vocabulary words in their answers.
● Social and Verbal: The students came up
with their own sentences on each water
droplet using the key vocabulary words
and had to share what they wrote as an
example with a shoulder partner and then
the whole class.
 Language Objectives:

1. Students will be able to define and know key

Objectives vocabulary terms when they are asked to use the
terms on their water droplets.
2. Students will be able to summarize what they
learned throughout the course of the PowerPoint
presentation on their KWL charts and on the water
droplets that will be provided to them.

Content Objectives:

1. Students will be able to summarize what they

learned about the benefits of drinking water and
staying hydrated.
2. Students will be able to recognize the benefits of
drinking water.
3. Students will be able to prove understanding by
writing facts on the importance of hydration that they
learned though the PowerPoint presentation, either
on their KWL chart or the water droplets

the content that is going to be discussed to determine
background knowledge. Also a good way to see the growth

Strategies:
of what students have learned.

1. Think-Pair-Share: This activity increases classroom

participation. It prevents the eager students from shouting
out the answers and it provides the wait time that some
ELL students may need to think about their answer. During
“pair,” students are allowed to discuss their answers with a
partner without the fear of being ridiculed in front of their
classmates. While discussing in pairs students elaborate
on their answer or think of new ideas. Everyone is engaged
and held accountable. When students are brought back to a
whole group they are prepared to engage in a discussion.

1. Stand and Share: Used as a good review strategy for what

all of the students in the classroom have learned.
 ● Each table will be given a poster board
KWL Chart and the students will be asked to create
a KWL chart.
● On the chart please include what you
know about the importance of hydration
and what you want to learn.
● Once the lesson has concluded you and
your group can go back and finish the
last section of the chart which is what
you have learned.
● After each group is finished one student
from each group can bring their chart up
to the board so the two instructors can
go over it with all the students.
Be sure to follow along the PowerPoint
presentation on the worksheet we provided for
you!

The notes you take can be used for the

activities you will be completing once the
lesson has concluded.
