Internet Resources about COVID-19 for Students and Teachers

 Students: interactive, educational, activity for kids

This  website is helpful when it comes to simply explaining information and details about difficult topics, regarding health and social issues. This website has access for parents, kids, teens, and educators. It has topics in all areas, including body and mind. This allows student to explore their different feelings about what is happen in the world around them in regard to COVID-19. I would use this website as a writing assignment for students to choose one article to explore  more and write a sentence about it and how it relates to them and how their life has changed.

Core Integration: 

    • To integrate this website and how to use it within a core topic; a follow up assignment can be created. This assignment can entail questions that have students state how this can relate to their lives in the present day, or how it can be involved with the health concerns going on.
