We left for Spring Break with an uplifting project called 13 Reasons Why Not. The students created posters that highlighted thirteen people, places, and things they love. They really enjoyed being artistic and talking about all the reasons they enjoy being on Earth! Once they completed their posters, they were asked to write a PEAL paragraph about the most important item/person in their lives. This proved to be a difficult task for many scholars! It was intriguing to talk with them about the emotions that were coming up (mainly guilt) and ask, "Why do I feel this way? What am I afraid of?"
I love this! And I can see how this exercise would stir up some difficult emotions. Ah guilt, the gift that keeps on giving.... As always, so well done.
