By: Jennifer Tineo

Webquest PS148Q

 

INTRODUCTION

In this past year, the world has faced a global pandemic and many students are attending school through remote learning. Students have had to change their whole lifestyle and this has caused them to worry and stress at such a young age. This is a problem because although students are staying safe with their families, they are not getting the emotional support they need. Today, you will be assigned to examine the problem of the lack of social emotional support for remote learners and develop a solution for those students. Then, you will write a how-to letter to your teacher or parent on different ways they can support you at home.
