Grief

This thoughtful lesson guides students through the five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—while exploring how grief impacts people in different ways. Using an engaging analogy activity, students create a visual representation that connects each stage of grief to something more familiar, such as an object, process, or place. This exercise promotes emotional insight and helps normalize grief as a part of life. Students are encouraged to reflect deeply, personalize their understanding, and share it in a creative format. Includes editable slides, a student reference guide, and a Canva template to help them bring their analogy to life.
