The visual aids available for this curriculum will greatly enhance class participation and comprehension. There is an entire section of clip art that you may wish to use in class presentations. The puppet pattern is included in this introduction. The puppet can easily be turned into Nutrietta by placing a bow in the hair. To help students understand the pyramid, it is very helpful to make a large set of colored blocks.
Yellow blocks represent the mild and meat groups.
Red blocks represent the sweets and fats group. The students use these blocks to actually build a pyramid of what they eat. These are a great teaching aid for the students. Throughout this curriculum you will find countless referrals to the comparison cards. These cards are available from the Dairy Council and are an integral part of the curriculum.
