Social Distance Journaling

Decades from now, kids will be learning about the year 2020 in social studies, and they will ask grown-ups what it was like to be a kid in 2020. What was it like to find out that school was closed, that you wouldn’t be allowed to visit friends? Did everyone really wear masks? In this course, students will record their observations, feelings, questions, and other thoughts about the moment in history they are living in. Assignments will include things to share with the whole class, things to share with just the teacher and other trusted adults, and things for just themselves.
