Today's Assignment: Due Thursday at MidnightRead the following articles: A Lesson From The Spanish Influenza Colorado's Other Pandemic Tell Us Your Pandemic Stories We have a unique opportunity to share our own stories right now as well as those around us. What's missing from the first two articles you read? One thing stands out to me: voices of the youth.
To start, I would like you to capture your life right now as we are quarantined at home. You can approach this writing assignment however you would like, but the goal is to create an artifact that we can look back on when this all has passed. What was life like before? What is life like now? How have things changed for you thus far? Tell us your daily routine while at home and away from school. You all have particular insights as young people and students that will be invaluable for future historians to look back on. To this end, I'd like you to begin creating a primary source of your own experience with the Coronavirus. This can be as long as you want it to be. There are, simply put, no rules--no TEA paragraphs, for sure. Just put your heart into it. To put it in school language, "In a well developed essay, share your own experience thus far with the Coronavirus." Please submit this to me via email by Thursday night so we can share with other on Friday. I'd like to hold a class meeting on Friday from 12pm-1pm to share our experiences with each other. Eventually, I would like us to do the work of actual historians to collect other peoples' stories from our community so we can be of service to future historians and researchers. I miss you all very much and hope you're doing well. As always, please let me know if there's anything I can do to make this online school experience better for you! I'm just an email away! Sincerely, Stephen
