Standards

Fourth grade reading literature standards will help students understand the concepts of all the readings that relate to Type 2 diabetes. By comparing texts form literature and informational readings, students will get adequate exposure to understand the human body and the endocrine system.

Fourth grade informational text standards will assist students in the visual, oral, or quantitative presentations. Input chart will help students the functions of a pancreas and the physiology of the pancreas. In addition, any information gathered will be accumulated in charts, graphs, diagrams, time lines, and interactive elements on Web pages.

Fourth grade speaking and listening standards will give each collaborative group to present their research finding to an audience. An audience can be a small class or our community level event. Each presentation can focus and elaborate on concerns of how Type 2 diabetes can be regulated by our cultural and basic understanding of living a balance life. Students can monitor discussions within small groups by asking questions that are helpful in changing and improving diet on the Navajo Reservation. By posing and responding to specific questions, students can follow up on information, and make comments that contribute to the discussion and link to the remarks of others.
