Body Composition - Fat Model Schedule

Each student will take a turn wearing the 10 pound fat models.  You will either be wearing it for a morning or an afternoon.  It is your responsibility to know your date and go to Miss Ermel's room to get it either first thing in the morning or right before the lunch bell (this is to be done BEFORE class starts!).  You will need to return it to Miss Ermel's room at 12:00 or 3:25, depending on when you are scheduled to wear it.  Please take good care of it and do not pick at it or let other students vandalize the fat model.

After you have finished wearing the model, you will need to answer the reflection questions below.  They are due 2 days after you have worn the model.  For example, if you wore it on Wednesday May 1st, your reflection questions are due Friday May 3rd at the beginning of class.  If they are not handed in, you will be in HWC for that day.  They needed to be typed, printed off, with your name on, and placed in the pink basket in Miss Ermel's room.
