Instructional Ideas

  • The journal and many of the worksheets are used in multiple sessions; therefore, have class members create a special folder for these materials and have them bring this folder to each class session

Classroom Considerations

  • The ninth in a series of 10 resources focusing on Social, Physical, Emotional, Cognitive and Spiritual (SPECS) health

Pros

  • The 10-page packet includes activities, directions, journal prompts, worksheets, and links to related materials

Cons

  • The labeling of the handouts may prove confusing since they have both a resource number and an activity number
