Overview
About This Mini-Lesson
In this activity, you will create a real, tangible toolbox with items inside that represent the different ways in which you can take care of yourself and others during and after this pandemic.
Your toolbox should:
- Be a tangible, constructed, creative, three-dimensional box that is filled with at least five items that are your “tools”
- Be accompanied by a well-composed, thoughtful piece of writing that clearly explains the “tools” found in your toolbox, their meaning to you, and how they will help you
