After viewing, invite students to share specific things they noticed in the video about the meaning of the word resiliency e.g., “One leader said that resiliency comes from doing the hard thing. I think resiliency isn’t easy to develop. You have to just keep going and trying.”
Activity Instructions:
- Each student should have a handout and scissors.
- Have the students prepare their Resilience Catcher according to the instructions on the attached PDF printable handout.
