9/6/12

Today the students were passed back their graded Nutrition/Health Tests. We then went over the calculation for BMI and discussed how it is not the most accurate measurement of one's health status.  We talked about insurance companies using this calculation to deny otherwise healthy applicants based on this simple math problem. We also talked about what is considered normal by today's standards and the reality of the idea of what is considered normal. 
They also had a JOURNAL ENTRY: READ THE RAY LEWIS MURDER STORY AND ASKED THEM TO RESPOND TO THE STORY IN A PARAGRAPH IN THEIR COMPOSITION BOOKS.
The students who did not pass the test are required to re-take the test by Wednesday of next week or the grade will stand. 
Vocab is due tomorrow and the 70% rule is in effect for the enrollment of the class, not the class attendees.  Good luck Trojans!
