Review this resourceI found this resource absolutely useful.First my advanced teenage students did the writing activity and then we exchanged opinions.
I think talking and writing about this awful situation helps teenagers to cope with it.

Adapted this for adult learners, it's very comprehensive and flows brilliantly. It will also be a mental health supporting activity for learners at the moment.
