Negative Lifestyle Factors Case Study


Gemma Joules:

Gemma is a 25-year-old primary school teacher, she works from 7am-9pm and regularly feels overwhelmed by work. Once she finishes work, she has 2 cigarettes per day (on average) and then has a balanced meal. After dinner, she drinks 1-2 large (250ml) glasses of wine per night to help her relax and sleep. Once she’s finished, she falls asleep between 10pm-11pm and sleeps through the night until 6am the next morning. She does, however, have interrupted sleep throughout the night. 

Gemma doesn’t feel much is wrong with her lifestyle, we need you to create a handout (poster/information sheet/leaflet) to help us re-educate Gemma on the negative factors that are impacting her life.

Personal or Supporting Statements

  Personal or Supporting Statements I became interested in teaching after realising how much I had benefited from excellent and passionate teachers. They exuded a real sense of enthusiasm for learning which inspires me to pass on that passion. My love for RE and sociology developed during my A-levels after discovering an aptitude for writing, analysis, and researching. This drove me to study more, going on to gain a 2:1 in RE and sociology from the University of England. Studying at university developed my passion for social sciences and taught me a range of academic skills which I believe are fundamentally important to teach young people.
