Descriere

Description These student packets, created by an award-winning educator with 20 years of classroom experience, are ideal for an Advisory Course, Life Skills Course, or as part of a lesson in a content area course related to one of the wide variety of available topics to choose from. Students write a daily gratitude statement, are reminded to keep a growth mindset and to practice 4-7-8 breathing, answer focus questions as they watch a short video online (active links to videos included in the dcownload as well as the length of each video), write 5 facts from CNN 10 (free 10 minute news show for students), review "I Can" statements, write daily academic and behavior goals, and reflect on their performance in school for the day. Educators need access to the internet and the ability to project the videos and news show with audio for the students. Everything else is ready for 50 days of lessons. An introduction (pages 1-6) is included to explain the rationale and research for the structure and content of the student packets. Answer keys are not included for the videos because answers may vary for many questions, and teachers should preview each video before showing it to students to determine if the content is appropriate for their classroom. Additionally, the news show is different every day so it is impossible to prepare a key in advance and students' answers will vary. It is generally not difficult or time-consuming to assess students' responses, which frequently offer valuable insights about their learning and positionality as students.
