How To Survive The Politics Of Another Covid School Year

 

According to Smart Classroom Management, "Wild-eyed parents. Petrified students. Bat-crazy colleagues. Changing policies. Uncertainties. Obstacles. Frustrations. STRESS.

Political division and its effects is enough to make you curl up rocking and sobbing on your kitchen floor.

But there is one thing you can control. A trump card, if you will. A doorway to another existence you can access anytime you like.

It’s your attitude. Get it right by focusing on just three things, and you’ll float above the fray, untouchable, like a bird on the wing."

The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History

 

This is a librarian's blog so here are some books.  Not really trying to get political here about masks and anti-vaxxers, just historical.  I do believe your personal freedom ends when it can affect my personal well being though.  If  you want out of this hell hole we are in just do the right thing.  Anyways some of use went through this just over 100 years ago so take a look.  To see the books click below.

Making Sense of Coronavirus Through Storytelling and Media Making

http://edutopia.org/ is a fantastic resource. On Edutopia there was a link http://studentreportinglabs.org/ and it is "Making Sense of Coronavirus Through Storytelling and Media Making" unit.

In it, you will find a resource packet that is divided into different pathways that allow students to tell their stories about the virus' impact on their lives, their families, and their communities. Options range from producing a video diary, a full-news package, and a creative one on making their own fact-based memes!

It could be a novel idea for media literacy or other courses.
