2 likes1,404 views
The document describes a project to teach information literacy skills to 8th grade students at Box Hill School. It involved having students write mini essays on topics like poverty and diet, with guidance from teachers and librarians. Students showed progress in referencing, understanding facts, and structure. Their reflections found the project helped understanding and they would apply the skills to other subjects. Further assessment was suggested to track long term progress.

![What makes a
balanced diet?
In order to keep as healthy as possible it is a good idea to eat sensibly and to include
lots of different types of food.
The NHS website (2010) states
“A healthy diet is one that is balanced. This means eating the right amount of food for how active you are, and
eating a range of food from the five main food groups. These are:
carbohydrates, which contain lots of energy and nutrients and are found in starchy foods, such as bread, pasta
and potatoes , protein, which helps the body to grow and repair itself (is found in meat, fish, beans and eggs)
fruit and vegetables , milk and dairy foods and foods that are high in fat and sugar”

Reading this information, I now realise how important it is to try and avoid
eating too much fast food and sweets as this kind of diet might make me feel
unwell and cause me problems when I am older.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/paveymonk-120425081327-phpapp01/85/Pavey-Monk-Catch-them-early-information-literacy-based-assessment-for-learning-with-year-8-at-Box-Hill-School-10-320.jpg)
