Objectives
  • To describe good and bad habits
  • To describe characteristics and conditions of health
  • To discuss health issues in both the United States and the Hispanic world

Notes

  • You may wish to brainstorm with students keywords in Spanish that will help direct them to Spanish-language Web sites to complete this WebQuest.
  • Use this activity after students have completed the Lecturas culturales section on pages 260-261 of the textbook.

  • Remind students to apply their knowledge of healthy and unhealthy behaviors along with their understanding of cognates to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words they may encounter as they work through this activity.

Expansion

  • Combine the final copies of the Web pages that students are asked to create in the Después de navegar section of this activity and post them on your school’s Web site. If you do not have access to the Internet, allow the students to "publish" their pages by creating posters of them that can be displayed in the classroom and/or shared with the school’s health class.

  • In Actividad 17, Virtudes y defectos, page 253 of the textbook, students create a description of a fictitious person with many virtues and a fictitious person with many defects or faults. Have them incorporate good and bad health habits that they find listed on the Web site.
