Overview
About This Mini-Lesson
The coronavirus has made it difficult for people to come together in person and has created stress and loss in the lives of students, families, and communities. This mini-lesson is designed to help students think about what “tools” they have access to that can help them take care of themselves and others during the coronavirus outbreak. It invites them to create a physical toolbox containing “tools” that represent the skills, attitudes, and actions that are necessary to take care of themselves, the people around them, and their wider communities during this difficult time. While this mini-lesson is not about taking action per se, it is about the important reflection that happens before action, when students recognize what they might need in order to make a difference.
