I’ve seen this idea being passed around, and thought this would make for a GREAT Flipgrid interactive inquiry based task. Have students reflect in the target language for these 4 things and upload a short VLOG describing it, and then write about it/and or present a short slideshow on it! Don’t forget with Flipgrid, students can also respond to one another, something I have them do so as to encourage interactivity online.
We are all responding differently to these strange times. Here is a simple idea to add to any other self care you’ve got going on and won’t take more than 5 mins.
GLAD journaling. Just end the day by listing these 4 things:
G: Something you’re Grateful for
L: Something you Learned today
A: Something you Accomplished
D: Something that gave you *Delight* (maybe the hardest but it’s always there!)
In Spanish, glad is ‘contento’ but that is a bit long, so AALA it is.
A: algo que Agradeces
A: Algo que has Aprendido
L: Algo que has Logrado
A: algo que te ha dado Alegria
In French: RAAP quelqu’un?
R: Quelque chose que je suis reconnaissant pour aujourd’hui
A: quelque chose que j’ai appris aujourd’hui
A: Quelque chose que j’ai accompli aujourd’hui
P: Quelque chose que t’ai donné PLAISIR aujourd’hui. (Peut-être le plus dur, mais il est toujours là!
What self-care strategies have you been using?
I hope this idea is useful for your classroom, or home use. Stay home and stay safe!
