Synopsis: In this curriculum unit, I will provide students with the opportunity to reflect on how COVID has changed them because it is clear in the work that they complete and the behaviors in class. Over the past two years, we have gone from in-person, normal school days, to virtual learning, to hybrid learning, and back to in-person, albeit far from normal. We would be naive to think that this drastic shift in learning has not changed our students and how they see themselves. I’ve learned a great deal about myself through the process. I have learned that virtual teaching is not one of my talents. I’m willing to be that my students have discovered similar things about themselves. 

My unit will focus on self-reflection and discovery, from who my students were before the pandemic and how they have changed. I plan on incorporating a personality test to help students discover characteristics about themselves that they may not have thought about before COVID. I will also incorporate journaling and time of reflection throughout the unit.
