My Plate

Meal Planning Project

You are looking to encourage your family to eat healthier so you have volunteered to prepare

dinner every night this week. You have informed your family members that each night they will

enjoy a meal that is nutritious, delicious, and that follows the recommended My Plate

guidelines.

You are to plan dinner for your family for 5 days using My Plate. For each day you should

complete the following:

 Picture of daily meals using My Plate layout (Worksheet)

 Recipes for each dish included in the daily meals (usually 4)

Needed:

 My Plate worksheet (5 for 5 days)

 Magazines

 Internet access

Students are to then choose how to properly display their menus at home. Your display

method will determine the method for how your project is presented to the teacher for

grading. Some ideas are below:

 In a notebook or folder

 On a poster board

 On construction paper

Bonus: Take a picture of your meals displayed at home!
