• Overview of Diabetes (Teacher Resource) 

Overview

Students began Lesson 1-1, What do I know about diabetes?, by writing their own definition and thoughts about Type 2 diabetes. In this lesson, they will interview community members to learn more about what others know or think about type 2 diabetes. Students compare the community members’ responses with each other and with their own responses. Through this activity, students see that different individuals have different information and thoughts about type 2 diabetes.

Enduring Understandings

• Individuals often have some knowledge about type 2 diabetes based on prior experiences.
•  Some of the thoughts and ideas that people have may be different from other people’s knowledge.

Outcomes and Indicators of Success

By the end of this lesson, students should be able to

1. Appreciate that individuals have some knowledge about type 2 diabetes. They will demonstrate their understanding by interviewing other individuals to find out their thoughts or ideas about diabetes.
2. Recognize that the information people have may differ from that of other people. They will demonstrate their understanding by comparing people’s ideas and beliefs about diabetes and concluding that differing ideas about diabetes emphasize the need to find out more about the disease.
