Meaningful, authentic work should be shared, whether it is amongst peers, families, or the larger community! Just because students are working online doesn't mean they can't have an audience! Students share their Gratitude projects in a variety of ways, like:

• Discussion Board

• With friends or family

• Opportunity to share on social media

Giving students a platform to show their skills and work is an important part of teaching! You never know who is in the audience and what kind of opportunities a showcase could lead to for the students, especially if they are working on a topic they are particularly passionate about. Having students share work also helps them feel part of something, which matters especially in an online setting where students don't always interact daily.

Students were asked to share their project with family or friends. A major part of the project will be showing gratitude for important people in their lives! Writing a letter of gratitude and sharing it with a loved one will have a major impact!

Students also have an opportunity to share their Gratitude Project on social media. This can be the main avenue for the project, or it can simply be a way to share the final project. This is not a requirement, but something that students love to do and it has the opportunity to impact the most people!
