IB Task

In this activity, you will create a real, actual toolbox with items inside that represent the different ways in which you can take care of yourself and others during and after this pandemic. You can email a picture of the completed task to Mrs. Sanchez at rsanchez2@cps.edu.

Your toolbox should:

  • Be a real, constructed, creative, three-dimensional box that is filled with at least five items that are your “tools”

  • Also include a well-composed, thoughtful piece of writing that clearly explains the “tools” found in your toolbox, their meaning to you, and how they will help you

Your toolbox can be a variety of things: a real box with a new design or decoration, a hollowed-out old book, or a soft-sided bag, for example.

Each “tool” will represent an action you can take, a habit you can develop, or an example you can remember to help you take care of yourself and others.

You can use objects you collect from around your home to represent your different “tools,” such as symbolic objects, family pictures, images, poems, or favorite quotations. For example, you could include eyeglasses “to help me focus more clearly.”

Construct your toolbox! Select at least five objects from your home that represent the different “tools” that can help you to take care of yourself, the people near you, and your wider community.

Use the questions below to help you reflect and select your five “tools.”

  1. What will I have in my toolbox that will help me do “small acts” of kindness on a daily basis?

  2. What will I have in my toolbox that will help me turn those small acts into something bigger?

  3. What will I have in my toolbox that will help me choose caring over not caring, especially during difficult times?

  4. What will I have in my toolbox that will help me take care of myself?

  5. What will I have in my toolbox that will help me build connections with other people?

Write a reflection that describes each of your “tools” and how you plan to use them.
