In all of our GED classes, it is mandatory that the students spend a week exploring health issues as part of the curriculum. The idea is that they can improve their reading, writing, math, and science knowledge while exploring health topics. In addition, they may learn about personal stuff. We invite community people to come to the classes and make presentations about health topics. When the community representative leaves, the teacher is suppossed to turn the information into instructional materials. There is a workshop that I do based nutrition. We invite someone to speak about nutrition to the class. Once the person is gone, I distribute potato chip bags, and show teachers how they can explore nutrition issues with the bag, and teach 70% of what students will see in the GED with a single potato chip bag.
