Your task will be to create a 5-day breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu for your family. Your plan must include the following:

1.     A chart detailing each day�s menu. Be sure to include all of the food groups when planning your meals!

2.    A plate for each day illustrating one of your meals.

3.    A list of 5 ideas (1 idea for each day) of physical activity.

4.    An  150 word essay about why it is important to eat healthy and to exercise.

You will be given 5 minutes to present your project and essay to the class.
