Sharing Thoughts and Emotions in Reaction to Current Events
A lesson from the Mikva Challenge program about the attack on the US Capitol offers ways educators can provide students opportunities to share their reactions, thoughts, and emotions about the events of January 6 in Washington, DC, and make connections to recent current events and historical events in the United States. The lesson includes three activities: (1) “See, Think, Feel, Wonder with Images from January 6” (a slideshow is accessible from within the lesson); (2) “Story Share,” and (3) “Facilitate a Conversation.”
