Students will record their affirmations in a journal or notebook daily. So, when the class doesn’t meet, students should continue to record their affirmations daily. This should take less than 5 mins. The goal is for journaling to become a habit, and I’m just here for accountability.Class Experience
US Grade 5 - 8
I will teach what resilience is. I will share examples of people (from different groups)being resilient. We will troubleshoot issues in student’s lives to look for opportunities to be resilient. I will also teach about affirmations. What are they? I will provide a daily affirmation for the students to repeat while looking in the mirror. They will also be required to journal their affirmations daily. The goal is for journaling to become a habit, and I’ll be here for accountability. We will play a game daily using platforms like Kahoot or Blooket, Crazy 8's or Hang Man to practice resilience. How is your class structured? Greeting, resilience, affirmations, game. How will you teach? I use slideshows and videos for visuals. I let the student’s needs guide my instruction. I also teach through games. What's your teaching style? I’m a facilitator. The facilitator/teacher is focused on promoting self-learning and helping students develop critical learning and thinking skills. A student-centered approach. How much will learners get to interact with you and each other (mention specifics like: lecture, games, slides, video clips, discussion)? I teach with interactive slides. I frequently pause and allow learners to respond and discuss topics. I also use video clips. We also play a game daily, which allows the learners to interact with each other.

I will use a website called Blooket. Blooket.com requires student’s to create an account. It’s a fun, interactive website (similar to Kahoot) where students answer questions in order to make progress in a game. They work together as a team to advance in the game.
