Since schools are closed, I’ve been thinking about my current schedule and activities and how they compare with what I usually do. I think that I’m going to invite my students to do the same.
What I’ve Been Doing Today What I Usually Do
Sleeping in Getting up early
Stopping by McDonald’s Eating breakfast at home
Cleaning files off of my computer Teaching amazing kids
Collecting resources for students Collecting resources for
to use at home lessons at school
Reading books Listen to students read
Working on a VSRA project Working on lesson plans
Watching television Watching readers and
writers at work

I like this comparison. The changes happening in our lives are really making us stop and think, aren’t they? Together, but apart, we’ll all make it through! 🙂 ~JudyK

This is a great comparison piece of writing that would be interesting for students to produce as well, just like you said. I also saw a post on social media asking students to write down their feelings so they can be shared in the future – My son is a senior in high school. His spring will look very different than he thought. Although he seems to be accepting this without much drama or unhappiness, I think it might benefit him to write some of what he thinks and feels down on paper. We are living as unprecedented history is being made – surely, it will be referenced in the future.

This would be a great comparison activity for kids! This is certainly a different time. There will be lots of opportunity for all of us to compare and reflect!
