RATIONALE:
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (or SARS-CoV2) is an infectious disease that was
first identified in the province of Hubei, China in December 2019. The World Health Organization
declared the disease as a pandemic on March 11, 2020 as the virus spread across 110 countries. To
date, it has infected more than 11.5 million people worldwide and has caused more than half a million
deaths (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/6/7/2020). Due to its infectious nature, governments
all over the world were forced to implement strict quarantine and lockdown measures to curb the spread
of the disease. Offices imposed work from home orders, all shops and restaurants were recommended
to shut down and schools were called off.
As the pandemic (coupled sometimes with other crisis situations) continues to affect the lives of people
all over the world, various sectors of governments have chosen to adapt other ways and means to
continue to provide their services to the people. These “new normal” practices shall continue to evolve
as specialists begin to understand more aspects of the virus itself.

ANALYSIS
What were the feelings that were mentioned a lot? Write these down
on your whiteboard/manila paper.
What did you notice about your reactions to the different situations? Are these normal
reactions to everything that you experienced? I would like to show you this table of common
reactions of students to stressful events. Please read those and tell me what you realize.
ABSTRACTION
Read a part of the Hand out
When Terrible Things
Happen” from the National
Child Traumatic Stress
Network (NCTSN).
APPLICATION
Today we learned that our reactions to the
pandemic, to any stressful event/disaster are normal
and valid. How can you apply this learning to your
life especially because the pandemic is not yet
over?
CLOSURE:
(Some students will be reading their letter to the class.)
Read your letter again. Compare how you feel now that you know that those feelings were
normal and valid? Say to yourself: my feelings are valid. My reactions are normal. My feelings
and reactions are valid and normal.
