As a culminating activity, create a collaborative class book inspired by Shy Me.
Give each student one page with the prompt: “I feel brave when …” or “One way I help someone who feels shy is …”
Students complete the sentence, illustrate their page and sign their work. Assemble the pages into a classroom book titled Our Courage Book. Read the completed book aloud and place it in the classroom library so students can revisit it throughout the year.
Discuss how everyone’s ideas are different and how every strategy has value because each person experiences emotions in unique ways.
