Healthy Food Choices Reading a nutrition fact table summative assessment exemplars

Learning Goals • I am learning to read a nutrition fact table and interpret the meaning of “% daily value” and the amounts indicated beside the 13 core nutrients. • I will then be able to take this knowledge and create a nutrition fact label and ingredient list for a product of choice with a different serving size. As well, I will talk about if this is a healthy food choice. • I will present my new nutrition fact table and justifications to the class.

Success Criteria • Did I: (Ask yourself the following questions or use as a checklist) __ Properly convert the nutrition fact label of a product to a new serving size? __ Include all 13 core nutrients? __ Explain why this product is a healthy food choice __ Present the information to the class using proper oral communication skills: __ Picture of my nutrition fact table __ Visual aids __ Clear, coherent oral communication __ Use clear and coherent speaking skills to communicate my information with the class

Exemplars How do I examine an exemplar? How will we be assessed in this culminating activity? The assessment is comprised of four components: Self-assessment Peer-assessment Rubric Teacher comments (anecdotal notes) • Look for key points from the success criteria checklist. • We will deconstruct the exemplars as a class. As we do this, check off if the exemplar has met any of the success criteria.

Is this a healthy choice? (Level 4 answer) • No way! • This is not a healthy choice for our everyday food choices and living. • I know this is not a healthy choice because there is a high amount of sugars under the heading “carbohydrates”. On Canada’s Food Guide there is no recommended daily intake for sugar and to have 32g of sugar in one serving is a lot. • I also know this is not a healthy choice because there is a high amount of fat in one serving. Most people will eat 1 cup of this product and to have 10g of fat and 16% of the daily intake is a lot for one serving. • The last reason I know this isn’t a healthy choice is because in the ingredients list sugar is almost at the beginning, which means there is a lot more sugar than other ingredients, making it unhealthy.

Level 3 • Student chooses a product and fairly accurately converts a nutrition fact table to a new serving size. • Student includes most of the 13 core nutrients. • Student explains why this product is/is not a healthy food choice. • Student presents the information to the class using some visual aids and fairly clear and coherent communication skills. • Student is well organized and prepared for the presentation.

Is this a healthy choice? (Level 3 answer) • Not a healthy choice • This is not a healthy choice for our everyday food choices and living. • There are too many grams of carbohydrates and too much sugar for one serving. • I also know this is not a healthy choice because there is a high amount of fat in one serving. • The last reason I know this isn’t a healthy choice is because in the ingredients list there are a lot of words that I do not understand and there is a lot of chocolate and cocoa
