Journaling Through Covid-19

This assignment is also posted on Google Classroom.

Right now you are living in a historical event. One day you will tell your children about it, maybe even your
grandchildren. They will read about it in a textbook. Imagine if you actually had a journal of your experience
during the Covid-19 pandemic that you could give to them. What insights could a journal give them that a
textbook can’t?

Journaling is writing down your experiences, thoughts and feelings. Journaling can help you remind yourself
of the good things present in your life. Remembering what’s deeply important to you and what you’re grateful
for, is calming and reassuring. Journaling is proven to reduce anxious feelings. 

Assignment: Start a journal of your experience. This can be done daily or weekly. You can write in a notebook by hand or type it on a Google Doc: 7-1-Journal-Name or 7-4-Journal-Name

Expectations: 1. Practice proper writing and editing skills. 

                       2. Write 1-3 paragraphs per entry. 

                       3. Choose 1 question or 1 prompt from the list below to help you write your                             
paragraphs.

                       

Questions	Prompts	Uncomfortable Feelings
How do you spend your day?  How are you being creative? How are you feeling? What do you do when you’re bored? What are the good things about staying home? What activities are you enjoying? Why are we staying at home? What is your new learning space like?	I smiled when … I really appreciate ... I felt great when … I am thankful for … I recently learned to ... I’ve noticed lately that I’m really good at … My dog/cat/friend made me happy when … I love … My new favourite thing is ...	It is okay to express all of your feelings but it is helpful to limit writing about your negative feelings. Avoid dwelling on what you can’t change and focus on the good things you are experiencing.

Hello everyone! I hope you were able to enjoy your weekend and have some fun with
your family. Thank you to all of you who have sent me their work and shared their

Social Studies: Silent Film Project

I am hoping you enjoy creating your project this week. I have extended the deadline to

finished you might use this extra time to add more facts and edit your work. 

Language Arts: 

Tuesday: Imagine you are a film or t.v. critic. Write a reflection on a movie or t.v. episode
or series you’ve enjoyed watching. Explain in a paragraph (or 2) why you enjoyed it, who
you would recommend it to and briefly what it is about. You can include judgements on
character decisions, special effects and plot development, if you like.
