QUARANTINE SCHOOL
During quarantine, we took time to reflect on what COVID means to us right now, and what it will mean as a snapshot of history. Take a look.
Photography, Storytelling, and Us
Living History: Podcasting Our Stories
![]() Interview with a NYC COVID Doctor
Silvia "Because of the fast spreading nature of this virus, New York City has had almost every doctor and nurse work in the COVID ward, where my aunt was for two weeks. When I interviewed her, I found out about how working during COVID-19 has affected her life, along with the lives of her family and coworkers. She reminds us of the horrible devastation this virus has caused some healthcare workers to experience changes in their mental state." |
![]() Away from our Friends, but Virtually with Them
JuJu "I interviewed my friend Kevin Le for this project because this pandemic really affected his life. When you listen to this podcast, Kevin, my interviewee is going to tell you how he has been separated physically, but not virtually from his friends. The news is also getting worse, but we are getting better." |
![]() Social Work and COVID
Genesis "This interview is a great opportunity for others to learn a little bit more about what it was like to be a social worker during this time. It is shocking to hear that she had to re-learn how to do her work. Due to the rapid spread of the virus, instead of going out to work she needs to work from home. When Sandra tells us that she works from home and takes care of her children at the same time." |
Paying the Bills
Charlie "Dianna/My mom was able to talk to me about her experience with coronavirus quarantine. This interview is a great opportunity for others to learn a little bit more about what it was like to be a parent during COVID-19. It is shocking to hear about how the shopping bill has almost doubled with all of us home." |
![]() Missing my Friend
Alexandra "Jera. I miss taking a lot of pictures with her in between classes or in the bathroom. I miss always working with her in projects or anything in class. Even though we always fought about little things. I miss these little fights we had. We used to laugh a lot for no reason. Now it's not the same I only get to see here though I screen but now we are closer than ever." |
![]() Everyone's New Normal is Different
Aish "My mom, Kalai, was able to talk to me about her experience during COVID-19. We may live in the same household but my mom is experiencing this pandemic differently. This interview dives deep into what my mom does as her job. She works for a healthcare company but finds it difficult as she can’t speak with her co-workers face to face." |
![]() What Does Grandma Think?
Danielle "This is an interview with my grandmother. I asked her some questions on how COVID-19 has been for her, both good and bad. I hope you enjoy as we get to know how this is impacting the lives of loved ones." |
![]() Getting to Know My Brother
Nicola "My younger brother started working at Star Market about a week and a half ago, and I wanted to ask him some questions about what it’s like working during a crisis like this and if he found anything spectacular during quarantine." |
How Numbers Tell the Story
Corona
Ana The name of the virus comes from the Latin word "corona" in reference to the form of a ring created by the tips that surround the virus when it is seen in an electron microscope. |

The numbers of infected is only one data set that tells the story of COVID-19. Our students thought about how other data sets also tell us about the impact of the virus and quarantine.
