This product includes a Full Year of Health Curriculum Lesson Plans - 61 files.

Each topic contains a PowerPoint presentation, Notes Outline and Homework Assignment. In total, there are 19 PowerPoint Presentation Lesson Plans, 18 Notes Outlines, 17 Homework assignments, 3 Transparencies/Handouts, 1 Activity, a Lesson Plan Template, an Open House/First Day of School PowerPoint Presentation and a Course Syllabus Template. All individual components of this curriculum can be purchased and viewed separately in my main catalog.

My PowerPoint presentations have been made to be both informative on curricular topics and visually stimulating for all students. 100% of my students prefer to receive and discuss new topics via PowerPoint (compared to reading textbooks, lectures, or copying information off of the board). I have found that this method works extremely well with both mainstreamed and inclusion students. When I taught in a traditional HS, I provided a notebook with all the slides for students who needed to take a second look at a slide or were absent for the day.
