The Rural Crisis Comes to School: Leader's Guide for Videotape.
Molgaard, Virginia
This leader's guide contains materials for conducting a 1-, 2-, or 3-hour workshop to help teachers develop techniques and classroom activities that will address and alleviate student stress resulting from the rural crisis. Resources for the 1-hour program include introductory remarks, a 28-minute videotape about how the agricultural economic crisis has affected students and staff in four Iowa schools, and a series of discussion questions relating to the videotape. The 2-hour program adds instructions for demonstrating the group relaxation technique "Sanctuary," a brainstorming session on projects to take back to the classroom (writing projects, role plays or dramatizations, puppet activities, assignments related to subject matter areas, and topics/formats for classroom meetings), and an introduction to the muscle relaxation technique "Unwinding." The 3-hour program includes directions for an hour of practicing listening skills using three suggested activities. Background information on emotional aspects of the rural crisis is included in an appendix. (NEC)
