Assessment

Ask students to identify a fear that they have overcome or a fear they are coping with now.  Ask them to focus on the concept of change.  Have them write Journal Response One:  Write about a fear that has changed as you’ve grown older.  Explain what has changed to alter this fear. 

Assess the response for addressing the topic of change.
