RUBRIC

PURPOSE: Students will demonstrate knowledge of the steps to beginning an exercise program.

Situation: Your employer has given you limited time to prepare a poster for a client who is selling posters to Fitness Trainers. You are given the following information from the client.

Information should be presented in simple form, starting with the need for a physical exam by your doctor before beginning vigorous exercise.

• Use a geometric figure for some part of your poster
• Use of color for emphasizing certain points
• A creative title
• Use of 3 to 5 vocabulary words showing knowledge of the word not the definition
Names should be on the back of the poster in the upper right hand corner as well as period and date turned in to the classroom.

Things we discussed:
Proper clothing consideration for different kinds of weather
Proper warm-up before exercising
Proper cool down after exercising

Be sure to use class notes. Absent students are responsible for getting notes from another student.

Enjoy!
