Learning what affects/impacts our overall wellness

In this mini unit, students will develop the knowledge and understanding of factors that can affect their overall wellness. They will work in groups to become experts on a topic related to the outcomes (i.e. nutrition, physical activity, relationships, mental health, environment) and present their findings to the rest of class. They will need to make the connections between their topic and the elements of the wellness wheel, and come up with strategies to improve overall wellness/balance the wheel.

I created this assessment for students to self explore throughout the year, and continue to learn about themselves through all activities we encountered throughout the term. This assessment is called Brand Yourself Motto and Logo. Students get a chance to express who they are by branding themselves with a logo and a motto. This assignment encouraged individuals to truly look at all the dimensions of wellness and how they connect to them individually, students can use an array of methods to showcase their logo or motto. I hooked most of the students by showcasing popular brands and their mottos like Nike, Addias, Tim Hortons, McDonalds, we then discussed why their mottos and logos worked so well and triggered great conversation about marketing and the effects of marketing on individuals wellness
