Week of 4/6-4/10 Activity 

You are going to make a Week Journal of what life is like in during the Covid-19 Global Pandemic.

What we are living in this current time, it is living History. We will all be able to tell generations after us what happened. Schools closed for so far two weeks, all sports cancelled their seasons until this is over, stores closed down unless they were considered “essential” (did you know what essential meant before this?), everyone was asked to quarantine and practice a shelter in place, which until this time no one had heard of. We are asked to only go out to get things we need such as the grocery store. And worst of all your teacher is asking you to complete work during this time...can you believe her?!!

I want you to keep a Journal throughout this entire time we are home. Whether you type it, or hand write it is completely up to you! Record events, day to day activity, fears and feelings. Add pictures or drawings if you want. Make a video if you really want (parental permission!) Interview your parents/siblings or anyone else living with your during this time.

When this is all over, I want you to store it in a safe place. You will share this with your children/grandchildren one day! (yes, even though that seems YEARS away) You will be making a PRIMARY SOURCE OF YOUR OWN HISTORY.
