Summary: This lesson teaches students about their immune system, the way their body fights off germs without them even knowing it. The lesson begins with a great hook to interest students and then allows students to break down the different parts of the immune system, looking into their individual purposes. In this lesson, students work in groups to create posters which appeals to various learning styles and strengths as it includes drawing, writing and researching. This lesson is easily connected to students own experiences and provide effective differentiation strategies and comprehensive, fair assessments. To increase the social justice aspect of this lesson, the teacher could begin a discussion about how we can help and hurt our own immune systems and introduce the idea that in some communities it is harder to maintain a healthy immune system than in others.
