# Personal Choices and Well-Being *Career and Life Management, Grade 10: building on Health and Life Skills outcomes from Grades 7 to 9* ## Slide 1: Personal Choices and Well-Being ![Personal Choices and Well-Being](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/api/generate/c998cd4f-302c-4470-a5ba-05cbf8760d13/asset/2071) *Health and Life Skills: tracing choice and consequence from Grade 7 through Grade 9* > Notes: Introduce the lesson by explaining that well-being is built from a sequence of everyday choices, not a single decision. Frame the lesson as a review of how the Alberta Health and Life Skills program develops the theme of personal responsibility for health from Grade 7 through Grade 9, preparing students to apply this thinking at the Grade 10 CALM level. ## Slide 2: Grade 7: Comparing Choices to Health Standards - Compare personal choices around physical activity, nutrition, relaxation, sleep and reflection against health standards ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10168)). - Examine grooming and cleanliness habits, including how cosmetic advertising shapes those choices ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10169)). - Link food choices to adolescent nutritional needs, considering finances, media, peer pressure, hunger, body image and activity level ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10172)). - Analyze the social factors that influence whether a person avoids or uses particular substances ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10173)). *Sources: [Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10166), [Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10167), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10168), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10169), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10172), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10173)* > Notes: This slide covers Grade 7 Personal Health outcomes under the topic of making responsible, informed choices for health and safety ([Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10166), [Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10167)). Ask students to identify one personal health standard they already compare themselves against, such as recommended sleep hours. Formative check: have students name two personal health choices, such as sleep and nutrition, and compare each to its health standard, confirming their response states both the choice and the matching standard. ## Slide 3: Grade 8: From Choice to Consequence **Seeing the Link** Grade 8 students examine the direct relationship between a choice and its consequence, such as how smoking affects appearance, feeling and performance ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10211)). They also analyze how health needs change across the life span, including shifting requirements for sleep and calcium ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10212)). **Handling Pressure** Students develop personal strategies for resisting pressure to adopt a particular look or lifestyle, including learning to accept individual appearance ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10214)). This builds on W-7.2 work on grooming and cleanliness, and the evaluation of grooming and cosmetic advertisements ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10169)). *Sources: [Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10209), [Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10210), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10211), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10212), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10214), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10169), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10173)* > Notes: This slide sits within the Grade 8 topic of making responsible and informed health and safety choices, under Personal Health ([Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10209), [Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10210)). Discuss with students how a single choice, such as sleep timing, produces a visible consequence within days versus one that accumulates over years, such as calcium intake and bone health. ## Slide 4: Grade 9: Extending Healthy Choices Outward - **Family and Community**: Use knowledge of an active, healthy lifestyle to promote and encourage involvement among family, peers and the community ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10254)). - **Approaches to Health**: Analyze how positive health habits can be supported by varied health practices and treatments, such as acupuncture ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10255)). - **Nutrition Strategies**: Develop strategies that promote healthy nutritional choices for self and others, such as setting healthy-eating goals or advocating for nutritious vending machine options ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10258)). *Sources: [Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10252), [Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10253), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10254), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10255), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10258)* > Notes: These outcomes fall under the Grade 9 topic of making responsible and informed choices for health and safety, Personal Health ([Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10252), [Topic](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10253)). Have students draft one strategy they could realistically use to encourage a family member or peer toward a healthier habit, connecting personal choice to social influence. ## Slide 5: Tracing the Progression, Grade 7 to Grade 9 1. **Compare and Examine**: Grade 7: compare personal habits to health standards and examine outside influences on grooming and food choices ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10168), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10172)). 2. Connect Cause and Effect: Grade 8: link specific choices to specific consequences, such as how choosing to smoke affects how one looks, feels and performs([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10211), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10212)). 3. **Build Resistance Strategies**: Grade 8: develop personal strategies to withstand pressure over appearance or lifestyle ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10214)). 4. **Extend to Others**: Grade 9: apply healthy-lifestyle knowledge to encourage family, peer and community involvement ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10254)). 5. Grade 9: analyze how positive health habits can be supported by a variety of approaches to health practices and treatments ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10255), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10258)). *Sources: [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10168), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10172), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10211), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10212), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10214), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10254), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10255), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10258)* > Notes: Use this flowchart to show the deliberate scaffolding across three grade levels: from personal comparison, to cause-and-effect reasoning, to strategy-building, to community-level application. This progression supports students' understanding of personal health choices and standards for health. ## Slide 6: Choices, Consequences and Community Summary: In Grade 7, the Health and Life Skills program establishes a foundation by having students compare personal health choices to standards for health([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10168), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10211), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10214), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10254)). Well-being emerges from this accumulation of informed, responsible daily decisions. **Question:** Which one habit from your own routine, sleep, nutrition, activity or how you respond to peer pressure, would you change first, and what consequence would you expect to see? *Sources: [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10168), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10211), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10214), [Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10254)* > --- *AILI presentation · language en · model claude-sonnet-5 · generated 2026-09-17 · id c998cd4f-302c-4470-a5ba-05cbf8760d13* ### Sources - node:n1: Wellness Choices (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10166) - node:n2: Personal Health (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10167) - node:n3: W-7.1 (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10168) - node:n4: W-7.2 (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10169) - node:n5: W-7.5 (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10172) - node:n6: W-7.6 (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10173) - node:n7: Wellness Choices (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10209) - node:n8: Personal Health (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10210) - node:n9: W-8.1 (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10211) - node:n10: W-8.2 (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10212) - node:n11: W-8.4 (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10214) - node:n12: Wellness Choices (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10252) - node:n13: Personal Health (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10253) - node:n14: W-9.1 (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10254) - node:n15: W-9.2 (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10255) - node:n16: W-9.5 (https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/10258)
