The Weekly 5 for May 11-15 offers tips to help IUSD students and families record and reflect on their experiences during this historical moment in our Nation’s history due to the COVID-19 crisis. Students can become a historian or journalist, sharing their unique experiences, while sharpening writing, research, creative and wellness skills.
-
Create a historical timelog. Write in a diary or journal your thoughts, reflections along with unique events that are happening right now.
-
Extra, extra! Act like a journalist and interview family members about their time during the stay-at-home orders. This can be done over the phone or over video chat in order to maintain social distancing.
-
Use your artistic skills and scrapbook your experiences. Use whatever craft materials you have around the house and create a scrapbook about the last couple of months or weeks.
-
Create a slideshow of memorable moments! Use PowerPoint or Google Slides to document what family life is like right now at home.
-
Lights, camera, action! Become a director and pull together a short film of all your videos from these past couple of weeks, using Flipgrid, iMovies and other available programs.
