Week 13 Learning Challenge Deskercise Update

Deskercise Update

This week I tried to incorporate more stretching into my school routine and work routine. I stand up for most of the day while I am at work and sit for most of the day at school. I found that if I stretched my back and rolled my shoulders more at work I did not get as tight throughout the day. During school, I found that walking around between classes and moving and stretching a bit throughout classes allowed for me not to become as tight. I also think it is important to sit up straight during school so that my back does not start hurting.

Feedback Strategies

Article # 1 How to Craft Constructive Feedback ( Link to Article ) Giving feedback can be very challenging, not to mention you have to think critically about what you want to say. I read this article and it was a bit confusing. I thought this would be a good article based on the title, but I was not impressed. In my opinion, I think that you have to pair a negative situation with a positive one. Although I have not had too many one-on-one situations where I have had to give someone feedback I think it is easier to do when the person has had a set of standards given beforehand that you can use to craft what you want to say. After all, feedback is key to growing as a person.  Article #2 Specific Feedback Helps Them Grow ( Link to Article )   I really liked this article, the author had some really good tips. They were more geared to students but still applies to multiple situations. I think one of the more important tips she said is that feedback is goal...

Week 9 Reading Part B: The Iguana and the Turtle

The Iguana and the Turtle  After reading this story it reminded me a bit of the Turtle and the Hare. I like both stories the moral in the Turtle and the Hare better, but this one was more comedic so to say. I think if I was to retell the story I would sort of make the moral relevant to the sang "if you all saw your friends jumping off a cliff, that does not mean you should." In the end the iguana was foolish and the turtle ended up bailing on his friend. I think the story ended abruptly so I think I would start off by summarizing the story and then go into more detail on how the iguana learned that you should not always do what your friends are doing and that you need to know who your true friends are. Another way I could go with the retelling of the story was to add on if the old man had actually wanted the turtle for to marry his granddaughter and if there was someway he could make the turtle/iguana a human. My last idea would be if the turtle had gotten away and ...

Week 13 Reading Notes A: Dream of Owen O'Mulready

Image
A Dream of Owen O'Mulready Bibliography: Celtic Fairy Tales (2) unit. Story source: More Celtic Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs with illustrations by John D. Batten (1895). Link to Story For this story, I think it would be fun to have Owen travel in time to a different destination since he is just stuck working and only lives with two other people. I think I would change the storyline to Owen having a dream of escaping and through the dream, he is able to experience a different city. Throughout, the dream he thinks of a real idea of how he can escape and be able to live with other people. The original storyline was a little boring to me. In the end, I think I would have him attempt to start his escape plan before the story ends.
