A proposal for teaching Food Studies 11 and Active Living 11 together

Withenshaw, Samantha

Currently secondary schools in British Columbia have separate courses for Food Studies and Active Living. Food Studies is taught in the Home Economics Department and Active Living is part of the Physical Education program. Both of these courses have health related objectives. With the current health concerns related to lack of exercise and improper eating this paper makes the case for teaching these two courses using sequenced and shared integration approaches so that students can understand the relationship between physical activity and healthy eating. In addition to creating a rationale for combining the two courses, I present a tentative outline for how each of the courses could be sequence so that they reinforce the goals and outcomes of each and demonstrate to students how interconnected the two subjects are. In addition I suggested shared teaching activities that to demonstrate how combining the two could meet the outcomes of both courses and be taught in such a way that they reinforce and complement each other.
