1 class period 

  1. Begin the lesson by asking students to recall what they learned about risk factors for Type 2 diabetes in the previous lesson (3-2).
  2. As students share what they learned, write the risk factors on the board or chart paper.
  3.  As students recall the risk factors, ask them also to recall how the risk for diabetes changed with each factor. For example, students should say that age is a risk factor and a person’s chances of getting Type 2 diabetes increase as the person gets older.

For each student:

Overview

In this lesson, students analyze a graph and learn that deaths due to diabetes have increased among American Indians and Alaska Natives during the past 60 years. They then read a story to learn how changes in the American Indian/Alaska Native environment and lifestyle (physical activity and diet) in the past 60–100 years may have contributed to the increase in Type 2 diabetes.

 

Enduring Understandings

  • Changes in lifestyle (physical activity and diet) correlate temporally with the increase in Type 2 diabetes among AI/AN peoples. These changes may have increased individuals’ risks for, and may have led to, the increases in the disease seen today.
  •  An individual may use this information to make choices about healthy lifestyles.

 

Outcomes and Indicators of Success

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

  1. Understand that Type 2 diabetes has increased in prevalence among American Indians and Alaska Natives during the past 60 years. They will demonstrate their understanding by correctly reading and interpreting a graph showing the number of deaths caused by diabetes over the past 60 years for both American Indians and all U.S. populations.
  2.  Identify lifestyle factors that have changed during the past 60 years that correlate with the increase in Type 2 diabetes. They will demonstrate their understanding by reading an individual’s story about lifestyle changes in an American Indian culture and identifying aspects of lifestyle that are different before the increase in Type 2 diabetes compared with now or after the increase in Type 2 diabetes began.
  3.  Predict how choices today might influence an individual’s risk for Type 2 diabetes. They will demonstrate their ability by recognizing that individuals can make choices that will affect their risk for Type 2 diabetes and explaining how these choices may influence an individual’s overall risk for Type 2 diabetes.

  • Different colored pens or pencils 
  • Copy of "Deaths Due to Diabetes" (student handouts)
  • Copy of "Summarizing Change" (student handouts)

Conclude the lesson by asking students:

  1. If people have some control over a risk factor, can they make changes that would influence that factor and help bring their lives back into balance?
    • Most people do have some control over their physical activity and their obesity level (through the food choices they make). Some students may say that they have little control over such things as the food they eat or how much exercise they get. Even if students are not controlling what is being prepared for meals at home, they can usually make choices on how much they eat or what they eat at other times of the day (meals at school, for example).
