Part 3

2. Define resiliency by working with your classmates and incorporating your own examples.

   • Choose one quote to help you understand your definition:

     1. “Sometimes carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.” –Albert Camus

     2. “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” –Maya Angelou

     3. “The human capacity for burden is like bamboo – far more flexible than you’d ever believe at first glance.” –Jodi Picoult

   • Find an image or gif to illustrate your definition of resiliency and insert it into your note catcher.
