Today we discussed Peer Pressure and Bullying. We watched the powerpoint in Canvas. Go ahead and submit the journal entry. Also there is a quiz. It did have one mistake but I corrected it. They are due on Tuesday along with your Canvas submissions for your resiliency papers. Be sure to read the prompt carefully and make sure the paper is long enough. We watched THE BUTTERFLY CIRCUS and then as a class participated in our version of Cross the Line. Here are the questions and the processing we did after.

Today was Self-Esteem Day. We filled out the journal entry on Canvas. Then we went over the PowerPoint with definitions for Self-Image, Self-Esteem, Self-Worth, Pygmalion Self. We also watched some pretty cool videos embedded in the powerpoint. We went around and each individual said "I am ..." and told us one truly authentic thing about themselves. We watched a few more videos not included in Canvas. This music video by Colby Callait and this video of Ashton Kutcher accepting an award. We showed a clip from Coach Carter where they quote this:“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Today we had a sub. You guys went on Chromebooks and did all of the activities that I have assigned a due date and points. Go to Canvas and get them completed in person or online students!
Today we discussed Stress and how to cope with it. We read through all of the Canvas Link entitled Coping with Stress, Loss and Grief. Be sure to watch the Ted Talk embedded in the reading entitled How to Make Stress Your Friend. As part of the lesson I showed this PowerPoint on Coping Strategies. Remember there is no shame or judgment when dealing with coping strategies of ours or those we know. We are all dealing with stressors in our lives and can only do what we can do at any given time. My goal is to give you the power and knowledge to make m stress your friend, recognize how going through and figuring out how to best cope with our challenges as they come, because THEY WILL COME. I also passed out your Resiliency project due the first week of February. Note this part of your Canvas Reading and put it in your phone. You may have noticed that even positive coping skills don’t always help us solve problems directly. They just give us some space in which to prepare to face the stressor. Eventually we need to go and face whatever we are struggling with. Take a few minutes to think about the stresses you experience. (I’d like you to write your thoughts on a piece of paper as you work through the following questions.)
Today's topic was Communication. I showed this Prince Ea Video . Then I started showing the Communication PowerPoint on Day 2 in Canvas. I had you all go into Canvas to do the journal entries for points. I continued with the PowerPoint discussing modes of Communication and Communication styles. Then today was the day that your Self-Collage was due so those who had theirs brought them up to the front with them. The entire class lined up in two lines and we had mini conversations for 2 minutes (and then rotated to another person). The goal was to get to know the other person as well as you good in that time frame. We used tools like eye contact, posture, asking questions and listening to proceed with our speed conversations. It was one of my favorite days!!
Action points: for Online and In person students.
Today we focussed on Emotions. We started class by watching these excerpts from Inside Out. I read from this online article out of Berkeley about important lessons learned from Inside Out.We talked about how important it is to allow ourselves to actually experience ALL emotions, not just the comfortable ones. We discussed Vulnerability and how opening up to others in the way we can connect to them. The less we are willing to share the less likely connection is likely to occur. We showed part of a Tedtalk from Brené Brown . We also played a game with a dice and a group of 4 or 5 students. As you took turns rolling the dice, you would choose an experience where you felt an emotion: 1- joy, 2-anger, 3-sadness, 4-fear, 5-disgust and 6 you chose. You all took turns being vulnerable sharing those experiences. I reminded you that the Self-Collages are due on Friday.
Today we discussed "Personal Identity". Read the reading in Canvas on Healthy Self and take the Self Check and give me a Free Response. We went on the computers and took the 16 Personalities Test.I requested that you email yourself this information or at least remember your exact letter combination. Then you go on Canvas, click on Discussion and participate in the discussion for your overall category; Analyst (Architect, Logician, Commander, Debater) Diplomats (Advocate, Mediator, Protagonist and Campaigner) Sentinels (Logistician, Defender, Executive, Consul) Explorers (Virtuoso, Explorer, Entrepreneur and Entertainer) and tell us all of your letters, if you think this accurately describes you and why or why not. Then you will comment on two other peoples posts.
We watched this video by Prince Ea. Then we had a classroom discussion about Labels and what are some of the labels that people try to put on us or others. I also showed you this quick clip about Attachment Styles. Your homework for next Friday is to complete your Self Collage Assignment. Also you turned in Health Disclosure and Human Sexuality Permission Slips. Today was our first day!! I introduced myself and then we did an interview and you introduced each other. You got participation points for completing that assignment. I handed out the Health Disclosures and the Human Sexuality permission slips. I assigned the Personality Collage. That is due the 15th. We are in the Healthy Self unit. We will be discussing all things mental health and setting the tone for the remainder of the year.
