Instructional Ideas

  • There is an ample amount of activities and knowledge to digest in this resource. In order to avoid feeling overwhelmed, consider asking students to choose only one new piece of information to focus on for a week at a time and gradually build from there

Classroom Considerations

  • While originally designed for adults, most activities can easily be adapted for middle and high school students

Pros

  • Extensive array of unique activities and handouts
  • Each workshop plan includes an icebreaker, well-sequenced instructional activities, and detailed talking points

Cons

  • None
