This folder is a collection of tasks that can be used as a supplement to “Ernährung, Fitness, Wellness”. It provides a lot of material for CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) lessons in English. The topics covered are healthy nutrition as well as approaches to a successful consumer education which strongly relates to finding one’s personal lifestyle.

Some tasks are directly linked with the modules in the book (see reference boxes). Most of the tasks are new and complement the modules in the book. The folder offers a new variety of methods in consumer education. The basic method is – as it has already been covered in the main book – to give children the chance for individual research in order to understand the principles of keeping fit by oneself. Only if they really understand “why” they should do certain things and accordingly avoid harmful ways of living, they will be more likely to adapt their lifestyle.

You will find all words that are printed in italic letters in the glossary at the end of the folder. They are listed in the same order as they appear in the text.
