Print out one copy of the How Did Your Nutrition Plan Go? handout {PDF, 12 kb] for each student.

You will also need to prepare questions for a short discussion about how learners felt as they went through the first week of their nutrition plan. Also, be prepared to answer questions related to lesson content.

Instructional Steps:
1.  Discussion about how learners felt as they went through the first week of their nutrition plan
2.  Analyze nutrition calendar – learners will be answering questions on an analysis worksheet.  This worksheet will help guide the learners through the analysis process.
3.  Analyze partner’s nutrition worksheet – learners will then trade plans with another partner, and analyze these on their own.  Learners will need to find three strengths in their partner’s plan, and three areas for improvement.
4.  Update nutrition plan – learners will read their partner’s analysis, and then make changes to their plan based on the feedback they receive.
