Health and Your Mind

First, an announcement:

In hopes to improve student achievement and understanding on content, I have decided to spend more time in the classroom.  This means future activity days are suspended until further notice.  I will give you advanced notice so that you can come prepared should the opportunity for activity arise.  If I happen to forget or a spontaneous activity day occurs, I intend to be fair with my expectations of "dressing out."

On to the class...

We are now exploring the mental aspect of our health.  In this unit, we will discuss emotional health, self-esteem, mental illness, and stress management.  Notes and assignments are distributed in class, so you will need to see me for make-up work.  Remember, it is YOUR responsibility to ensure you are caught up and that all grades are in Pinnacle.  If you do not have your login information, you need to see Ms. Allen.

I have attached the assignment and rubric for your upcoming project, Stress Be Gone.  This project may be completed individually or as a part of a group effort.  Class time was given on Wednesday to work on the project and address any questions or concerns regarding the requirements and expectations.  The completed project is due on Monday.

Test Review

The next test (scheduled for this Friday!) will cover Basic Tissue Injuries, the Lower Extremity, and the Lumbar and Thoracic regions of the body.

You will need to pull your information from Chapters 14 and 18 of your textbooks, the coloring pages of your portfolio, the injury handouts you and your classmates have made, and your lecture notes.

The test is 50 total questions, a mixture of matching, multiple choice, true/false, and short answer/essay.

Study, study, study!!

Lumbar and Thoracic Evaluation

Back pain is an ailment that affects at least 80% of the population at least one time in their lives, and athletes are no exception.  For our final topic until the next test (April 3rd), we'll be covering the lumbar and thoracic regions of the body...in other words...the torso.

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs

If you missed class today, you missed the introduction to our second unit in Health: Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs.

We worked in groups to summarize the highlights in each chapter and recorded our notes on Fishbone Organizers.  Classwork today was graded...if you were absent, you will need to complete the vocabulary in each of the 4 Chapters in the text (12, 13, 14, and 15) for credit.

For those of you were were present today, do not lose your Fishbone Organizers...we will be using them again on Thursday! 

The test on this unit will be on Thursday, April 2nd.  The test will be open-note, but you are responsible for obtaining your own notes.

Basic Tissue Injuries

We are finally going to start learning about boo-boo's and how to fix them!

Of course, first, we need to have a fundamental understanding of anatomy so that we can effectively evaluate and identify the source of our aches and pains.

We will begin this unit with a general overview of the tissues of the body.  As the following presentation is rather lengthy, I would encourage you to take notes during lectures and use your textbooks as supplemental guides rather than print all 60 slides. 

Download Human Anatomy Intro

So far you should have the pages for directional terms, movement terms, skin, muscles, and bones.  Remember to hold on to these pages as they are just the beginning of a comprehensive project.  Your life will be much easier if you keep them in a safe place!

In case you misplaced the copies you were given in class, here they are!

Directional Terms

Movements

Skin

Muscles

Bones    

Another component to your porfolio is the collection of handouts that you and your classmates have made for each other detailing the injuries and conditions we've discussed in class.  Be sure to use these handouts as study guides!

Open Wounds

Closed Wounds  

Blisters

Open Fracture

Closed Fracture

Sprain

Strain

Muscle Contusion

Tendonitis   

Bursitis

Synovitis  

Also, don't forget to complete the student enrichment from Chapter 14!

Health

Go ahead and celebrate, BPE is officially over!

In Health class, we will begin with learning the American Red Cross guidelines for Adult CPR/AED and First Aid.  You will have an opportunity to earn your certification through this portion of the class.  We will then discuss families, relationships, reproduction, and the risks and consequences of sexual intimacy in teens.  Our next unit will cover mental health including stress and several psychological disorders.  We'll wrap up the semester with the alcohol, tobacco, and drug unit.

So that you can be prepared for your first test (American Red Cross), download and complete the following study guide.  Remember, this test is NOT open notes!

As we begin a new course, Health, please remember the new rule:

Due to excessive trash and leftovers found on the floor and in and around the desks in the room, with the exception of documented medical necessity, there will be NO FOOD IN CLASS.  Please plan your snacks and meals accordingly.
