Objectives:
Gain experience in developing an instructional plan for a specified
topic and audience utilizing the guidelines provided in class.
Demonstrate oral and written communication in presenting an
educational session for a group and gain public speaking experience.

and receive evaluative feedback from participants and perform self-
evaluation.

Instructions:
1. Create an Instructional Plan (IP) and present to a community
group.
a. Review the sample posted in Bb
b. Use the IP template provided for this project.
c. Use following goal for the IP: To recognize how to make
healthy food choices using the nutrition and ingredient
information on the food label. Tailor the objectives for this
goal based on the needs assessment (see below). For example,
if your audience is interested in heart health you will focus on
the nutrients on the food label related to heart health.
d. Select an audience and location.
A minimum of 6-8 adult participants required. Do your best to
select an audience that is not your family or friends.
e. Complete a needs assessment.
Determine the specifics about the audience and location (age,
gender, cultural background, literacy level, prior nutrition
education, location, etc.) and enter this information in section I
on the IP template. Plan your class for 45-60 minutes.
2. 8 points: Complete and submit IP sections I & II in accordance
with the course schedule.
3. Edit objectives as per instructor feedback and complete remainder of IP.
Before presenting, practice, practice, practice before you present. This will
allow you to check for proper timing, organization and logic in your IP.
4. Present IP to the selected audience and obtain participant feedback
through a formal evaluation form that you create refer to the sample IP
in Bb for sample evaluation form. Tally evaluations and provide a written
summary of results along with a written self-evaluation with
recommendations for changes. Be sure to submit all evaluation forms and
tally sheet with your project.
5. 32 points: SUBMIT completed IP along with previously graded

Be sure to also evaluate your performance objectives and describe if they were
met. For example, if your performance objective stated the following: At the end
of the class, participants will identify the 6 out of 8 food sources rich in calcium
on a given list. Then you need to evaluate and state the degree to which this
objective was met.

from participants (also consider body language, especially if written tools were
not used). In addition, complete a self-evaluation after the presentation

Summary/Tally from evaluation tool and verbal feedback from participants:
Overall, the participants enjoyed the presentation and thought that it
was fun and interactive. They enjoyed the length, and organization of the
information. All the participants were verbal and involved so I believe they
really enjoyed the subject material.
One complaint was that there were not as many visuals as one would
like. Everyone was given a pamphlet, however a power point handout, or
poster board give have been used for added visuals rather than just lecture.

List the degree to which each performance objective was met and whether
the criterion was met:

When given a collection of various food labels, the participants will select
the labels that contain healthy fats with 90% accuracy.

The participants worked together in a group to divide the ten labels, there
was some discussion amongst the group, but they were eventually able to
separate the labels into their correct pile with 100%.
The participants will explore whether given foods contain omega-3 or
omega-6 fats using the Eat Right website with 100% accuracy.

Participants were able to identify the correct fat after doing research with
100% accuracy.
The participants will consider at least two benefits of including heart
healthy fats in their diet by stating at least 1 change they would be willing
to make.

Each participant shared one change they were willing to make to their diet
after the presentation with the group.
Self evaluation with recommended changes:
The presentation was about 40 minutes with several group discussions, so
the time of my discussing the material could have been expanded a little
more. I also think I should have created a power point to print off so that
the slides would provide smooth transitions throughout the presentation
instead of my simply lecturing to the group looking back at me.

Evaluation:

How would you rate the length of this presentation (circle one):

Too short Perfect Too long

How did you feel about the way the information was presented to you?

How was the speakers performance (ex. Body language, eye contact, professional
appearance?)
