Instructional Ideas

• Many of the worksheets and the journal are used in multiple sessions and throughout multiple years; therefore, have pupils create a specific folder for these materials in which they bring with them to each class session

Classroom Considerations

• The series presumes that a protocol has been established that permits a safe and respectful discussion of highly-charged issues
• The fourth in a series of 10 resources focusing on Social, Physical, Emotional, Cognitive and Spiritual (SPECS) health

Pros

• The nine-page packet includes activities, worksheets, journal prompts, and directions for instructors

Cons

• No link is provided for The Prayer For Serenity; however, it is easily accessed on the Internet
• The labeling of the handouts may prove confusing since they have both a resource number and an activity number
