This lesson activity helps students explore the impact- and opportunities- created by COVID-19.
The “Living Healthy Report 2022: A pulse check on our nation’s health, two years into the pandemic” has amalgamated the data/findings from surveying thousands of Australians about their healthy habits in the areas of eating, moving and feeling.
Download the report here (PDF) or student can access the report in a more easily digestible form on the interactive website here.
Depending on the enterprise skill that you wish develop in your young people, you could use this resource and focus on:
Adaptive Mindset:
- Break students into small groups and assign them a section of the Living Healthy report to read (e.g. the eat well, move well or feel well section).
- Have students identify examples from the report of how Australians have used their “Adaptive Mindset” in the area of health and wellbeing during the pandemic.
- Have students assign a spokesperson to communicate their group’s identified examples.
- Have students reflect on the following prompt: How have I developed my adaptive mindset during the pandemic?
Problem-Solving:
- Break students into small groups and assign them a section of the Living Healthy report to read (e.g. the eat well, move well or feel well section)
- Have students identity potential problems, challenges or opportunities (in the areas of health and wellbeing) from their section of report.
- Have students assign a spokesperson to communicate their group’s identified examples.
- Have students reflect on the following prompt: If I had to pick one of the problems/challenges/
opportunities to address, which would I pick and WHY?
What are some others ways that you could use this report in your classroom to develop enterprising thinkers?
