Some students may not be as vocal as others. These students may still have questions. For these students, it is important that these students have a way to ask their questions. This advisory aims to help those students by having them write a letter to their teacher with questions or concerns they may have.
- Briefly discuss the societal violence that has taken place.
- On a piece of paper, have each student write down any questions or concerns they may have regarding the events. If students have no questions, they may also write any thoughts or feelings they may have. Students should leave room for the teacher to reply.
- Students will hand their letters into their teacher. The teacher will then read each letter and write a reply to the student. The answer should be honest but age appropriate.
- After answering the questions, the teacher will pass back the letters. If students have any further concerns, they may approach their teacher.
Example
Dear Teacher,
The Las Vegas shooting was very scary to hear about. I'm going to a concert in the summer. Will I be safe?
Dear Student,
The shooting was a very scary for many people. After the shooting, many places are making sure that the areas inside concert venues and around them are safe. You will also be attending the concert with people who will keep you safe. There will be security checks at the concert to ensure you and other concert goers are safe.
