Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Exemplar: (Sub-Theme Discussion) Learners sit in a semi-circle (community circle time) and talk about the subtheme for the week. Through questions and answers, find out from learners the things we have to do to keep healthy and strong. Show them two conversational posters, one on different types of food and one at the hospital. With the aid of pictures, have them talk about the types of balanced food we need to eat to help us grow. For instance: We have 1. Fats and Oil Foods: Such foods are high in fat and sugar 2. Protein (beef, chicken), 3. Carbohydrates (starchy food, bread, cereal and rice group), 4. Calcium Rich Foods help the bones, 5. Fruit and Vegetable, 6. Whole Grain food such as bread, wheat, 7. Food and drinks high sugar. Encourage learners to share experiences
Another day you can let them talk about the importance of taking all their childhood vaccination.
