Graphic organizers guide learners thinking as they fill in and build upon a visual map or
diagram. Graphic organizers are some of the most effective visual learning strategies for
students and are applied across the curriculum to enhance learning and understanding of
subject matter content. In a variety of formats dependent upon the task, graphic organizers
facilitate students’ learning by helping them identify areas of focus within a broad topic, such
as a novel or article. Because they help the learner make connections and structure thinking,
students often turn to graphic organizers for writing projects.

In addition to helping students organize their thinking and writing process, graphic
organizers can act as instructional tools. Teachers can use graphic organizers to illustrate a
student’s knowledge about a topic or section of text showing areas for improvement. For more
graphic organizer examples including, webs, concept maps and mind maps.

The first article is about tips for a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle is one which helps
to keep and improve your health and well-being. There are many different things that you can
do to live a healthy lifestyle, such as eating healthy, being physically active, maintaining a
healthy weigh, and managing your stress.

The second article is about stress management. Stress occurs when you perceive that
demands placed on you such as work school or relationships exceed your ability to cope. An
extreme amount of stress can have health consequences. But by finding positive, healthy
ways to manage stress as it occurs, many of these negative health consequences can be
reduced. Everyone is different, and so are the ways they choose to manage their stress. Some
people prefer pursuing hobbies such as gardening, playing music and creating art, while
others find relief in more solitary activities such as meditation and walking.

 5 Healthy Lifestyle Tips
1. Eat a variety of foods

For good health, we need more than 40 different nutrients, and no single food can supply them
all. It is not about a single meal. It is about a balanced food choice over time that will make a
difference.

2. Enjoy plenty of fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are among the most important foods for giving us enough vitamins,
minerals and fibre. We should try to eat at least 5 servings a day. For example, a glass of
fresh fruit juice at breakfast, perhaps an apple and a piece of watermelon as snacks, and a
good portion of different vegetables at each meal.

3. Drink plenty of fluids

People need to drink at least 1.5 litres of fluid a day or more if it's very hot or they are physically
active. Water is the best source, of course, and we can use tap or mineral water, sparkling or
non-sparkling, plain or flavoured. Fruit juices, tea, soft drinks, milk and other drinks, can all be
okay from time to time.

4. Get on the move, make it a habit

Physical activity is important for people of all weight ranges and health conditions. It helps us
burn off the extra calories, it is good for the heart and circulatory system, it maintains or
increases our muscle mass, it helps us focus, and improves overall health well-being. We
don't have to be top athletes to get on the move 150 minutes per week of moderate physical
activity is advised, and it can easily become part of our daily routine. We all could:

 use the stairs instead of the elevator,

 go for a walk during lunch breaks (and stretch in our offices in between)
 make time for a family weekend activity

5. Get enough sleep

Lack of sleep may lead to a host of health problems including obesity, diabetes, and even
heart disease. Continued lack of sleep can affect your immune system and make you less
able to fend off colds and the flu. So, it’s important go get a good night’s sleep. You can do
things to help you sleep better at night. You can avoid stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine
close to bedtime. Also, while alcohol is well-known to help you fall asleep faster, too much
close to bedtime can disrupt sleep in the second half of the night as the body begins to process
the alcohol.

Exercise can also help you sleep better at night. As little as 10 minutes of aerobic exercise,
such as walking or cycling, can drastically improve nighttime sleep quality but please avoid
strenuous workouts close to bedtime.

 5 Tips to Manage Stress
1. Smile and laugh

Our brains are interconnected with our emotions and facial expressions. When people are
stressed, they often hold a lot of the stress in their face. So laughs or smiles can help relieve
some of that tension and improve the situation.

2. Get social support

Call a friend, send an email. When you share your concerns or feelings with another person,
it does help relieve stress. But it’s important that the person whom you talk to is someone
whom you trust and whom you feel can understand and validate you. If your family is a
stressor, for example, it may not alleviate your stress if you share your works woes with one
of them.

3. Eat well

Eating a regular, well-balanced diet will help you feel better in general. It may also help control
your moods. Your meals should be full of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, and lean protein for
energy. And don’t skip any. It’s not good for you and can put you in a bad mood, which can actually
increase your stress.

4. Make time for hobbies

You need to set aside time for things you enjoy. Try to do something every day that makes
you feel good, and it will help relieve your stress. It doesn’t have to be a ton of time even
15 to 20 minutes will do. Relaxing hobbies include things like:

 Reading

 Knitting

 Doing an art project

 Playing golf

 Watching a movie

 Doing puzzles

 Playing cards and board games

5. Deep breathing

Stopping and taking a few deep breaths can take the pressure off you right away. You’ll
be surprised how much better you feel once you get good at it. Just follow these 5 steps:

Or you can lie down.
