Lesson Plans

The Fitness for Life Middle School Teacher's Guide provides detailed classroom and activity lesson plans for each day of the program.

CD-ROM Resources

The Fitness for Life Middle School Teacher’s Guide CD-ROM includes a variety of material for use in class, divided into six sections:

• The Worksheets and Resources section includes worksheets that students will complete in class or at home (click for samples of worksheets 1.1 and 1.4) and resources to help teachers set up and deliver lessons (click for samples of resources 1.1 and 1.4).
• The CD-ROM Quizzes section contains premade lesson quizzes, chapter quizzes, unit quizzes, and a comprehensive final quiz, all of which use multiple-choice questions from the test bank.
• The Answer Keys section provides the answers for the premade quizzes. It also provides answers to the multiple-choice questions in the Unit Reviews found on this Web site, along with answers to the Chapter Review questions in the student textbook.
• The Classroom Quotes section contains one or more relevant quotations for each classroom lesson that you can print out and hang in your room.
• The Rubrics section contains two rubrics that teachers can use to evaluate student performance: a worksheet rubric and a class participation rubric.
