The Invisible Enemy: in Times of Crisis (LS-HU-322)
This learning scenario is intended to teachers and students of all levels and ages to have a look at the world crisis we are facing right now. What are the most typical representations of fighting? Can it be done only physically?
The idea behind this LS is to help both students and teachers cope with the unexpected situation we are living in now. I have also tried to include social media as well to create a sense of familiarity and belonging if we can be together now only virtually.

Involving social media in a learning scenario
Look for the most popular # keywords on social media encouraging proper behaviour during the time of crisis e.g. #stayathome. If possible, try one. e.g. colour a rainbow and decorate your window with it. Are there any social media events celebrating health care workers? Step into your porch and applaud them at the proper time.
