- Thank you for checking in yesterday! As part of our chat, I asked you to think about a ‘silver lining’ that you unexpectedly found during this worldwide event.
- This can be a little thing, like the discovery that you like to cook, and actually found your parents aren’t so bad. Maybe your silver lining was dressing up your dog in too-small hockey clothes. Maybe painting your room, or even painting or another form of art. Inhaling books, and food? All night gaming sessions for mastering a level on Minecraft, COD, Warcraft. Or, look at a world wide perspective, like the dolphins returning to the canals of Venice, or the air finally clearing over China, or our 7 pm shout out to all the front line workers around the world.
- A short video below to watch, there is an episode 2 on youtube that is even better. What this reminds us, is we are all in this together. I just want you to watch the video, it is meant to be inspiring, but if you wanted to do your assignment like this, go for it!
Your assignment:
- Share your silver lining. Include an image, video, drawing, book cover, whatever that captures this, such as my dog Sid in his hockey gear.
- Write a well developed paragraph explaining this discovery of the silver lining during the COVID-19 pandemic. There has never been an event like this in my life, how do you think it will change you? I will post the rubric below relating to your writing.
- This will be posted on your blog: silverlining (a, b, c)
- We will use today’s class and part of tomorrow’s class to complete it.
