Community foundations are in a unique position where they cn be the voice for the community and delivering stories while innovating video. First, they will need to let go and let the community dictate the content.
Day 3-EWRT 2
Day 3's class will focus on discussing where fake news comes from, who produces it, and why. The document outlines the day's activities, which include discussing motivations for creating fake news, how it spreads, and impediments to its spread. Students will also discuss the consequences of fake news and potential solutions. They are expected to participate in class discussions, read for Wednesday, and post to an online discussion by Tuesday at 6 PM in preparation.
Media 2
This document provides an outline for a lesson plan that examines public opinion and how people are influenced. The lesson includes:
1. Reading passages from a book about how people are easily influenced and media reporting rules. Students will take notes on key terms.
2. Watching a video on persuading people and discussing any thoughts.
3. More reading and note-taking from the book, including on bias and types of lies.
4. An activity where students divide key words into boxes and complete an elimination game in their workbook.
5. Identifying newspapers in Ireland and creating headlines about categories as an activity.
Day 4 EWRT 2
This document discusses fake news and how it affects people. It provides summaries of three news articles about fake news during the 2016 US presidential election. The articles found that fake news may have contributed to feelings of powerlessness in some voters. Fake news stories disproportionately supported Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. The document also includes discussion questions about who is most susceptible to fake news and how candidates and society could address the issue.

This document discusses the benefits and costs of working while in high school. It states that there are 2 benefits to working during high school, but does not specify what they are. Similarly, it states there are 2 costs to working in high school, but does not provide details on the costs. The document presents this information in point form.
Psychological Safety through Deep Democracy
The document discusses the Lewis Method of Deep Democracy, which is a way to increase psychological safety in teams. It consists of several techniques: the check-in, which connects people at the start of a meeting; debates, which allow all views to be expressed on a topic through structured discussion in rounds; and the resistance line, which identifies where resistance comes from. The goal is to create an environment where it is safe to say what needs to be said so that groups can access the wisdom of the team and have greater buy-in. Psychological safety, where team members feel safe to take risks and be vulnerable, is the number one attribute of effective teams according to Google's Project Aristotle research. The Lewis Method is designed to build this

Feeling the Polarization - June 25 session
I organized an event to bring people together to discuss their EMOTIONS relating to political topics.
Here is the corresponding guideline book to run your own Feeling the Polarization event.
2285 (2021) week 1 introduction to the module online
This module aims to develop skills for facilitating principled change when working with children and families. It will focus on communication, relationship building, and counseling. Students will learn to demonstrate skills in managing change, conflict and crisis. They will apply theories when problem solving with families. The module involves reflective writing assignments: a 2000 word reflective log on developing responses to change and conflict, and a 3000 word case study report demonstrating how to affect positive change with a family in crisis. The document provides guidance on completing the assignments and engaging with weekly materials.
The Persuasive Essay Writing Process
The document discusses the key elements of a persuasive essay, including picking a position, analyzing the audience, using facts and evidence to support the position, refuting opposing views, and wrapping up with a concluding paragraph. It provides examples of topics that could be argued such as food choices in a campus union, and the debate between Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno over NBC's late night time slot. Tips are given on writing persuasively and practicing critical thinking skills.
Chapter 5 ambiguity
This document discusses ambiguity in writing and provides guidance on identifying and addressing ambiguous terms, phrases, or language. It defines ambiguity as unclear or multiple possible meanings of a word or phrase. It advises readers to carefully define terms, provide context, and check for understanding to avoid ambiguity. Examples are given of ambiguous terms like "freedom" and situations where context is needed to determine meaning, like determining the definition of "human rights" based on the author's background. The document also warns of loaded or emotionally appealing language intended to influence the reader.
Using Neuroscience To Influence People
This document discusses strategies for pitching ideas to the human brain based on its cognitive biases. It begins by outlining the three main parts of the human brain: the neocortex for logic/abstract thought, limbic system for emotions/empathy, and reptilian complex for survival/reproduction. It then notes that humans make rational decisions irrationally based on seven biases: avoiding pain/death, being self-absorbed, seeking the familiar, preferring concrete examples over abstract concepts, thinking in black-and-white terms, relying on relativity to make judgments, and relying heavily on visual processing. The document provides specific strategies to address each of these biases when presenting new ideas or concepts to appeal to the human brain.
Ethics ch 3
This document discusses ethics and ethical communication. It defines ethics as deciding what is right versus what you have a right to do. It also discusses establishing ethos or credibility, and provides examples of broken trust. Additionally, it covers the differences between morality and ethics, important aspects of ethical speaking such as honesty and avoiding plagiarism, setting responsible speech goals, ethical listening and feedback, and potential ethical dilemmas in communication.
February 24 (101A)
The document discusses different terms used for young hedgehogs. It notes that a young hedgehog was once simply called a young or baby hedgehog, but starting in the 1990s the terms "hoglet" or "hedgehoglet" came to be used. The document also provides two multiple choice answers regarding whether a young hedgehog is called a "kitten," with the correct answer being false.
Personal Retrospectives - Johannes Thönes
This document outlines exercises for conducting a personal retrospective to reflect on the past month, set goals and plans for the future. It involves making lists of important events, feedback, likes and dislikes from the past month. Participants identify goals, make them SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound), and commit to actions and plans within 48 hours. A letter is written to oneself summarizing insights and wishes for the next three months to be sent later for reflection. Personal retrospectives are presented as a useful tool for personal growth.
Water Cycle
The document describes the water cycle through defining key terms: condensation reduces gases to liquids, evaporation turns liquids to gases that enter the sky, precipitation brings condensed water back down as rain, snow or hail, and surface runoff and transpiration describe how water moves across land and through plants. Accumulation occurs when storms form over bodies of water.
Syncline
A syncline is a downward fold in rock layers that can form valleys, and is the opposite of an anticline which is an upward fold. The Appalachian Mountains contain many synclines and anticlines that make up their geological structure, with synclines creating downward curving rock layers.
The Water Cycle
The document discusses key components of the water cycle including condensation, evaporation, precipitation, snow, hail, rain, surface runoff, transpiration, and accumulation. Surface runoff occurs when water from rain, snowmelt, or other sources flows over land and is a major part of the water cycle. Plants release water vapor through transpiration while accumulation refers to a gradual build up of something over time.
The Water Cycle
The document defines key terms related to the water cycle, including condensation, evaporation, precipitation, snow, rain, hail, surface runoff, transpiration, and accumulation. It explains that condensation is the act of condensing or becoming more compact, while evaporation is matter passing off as vapor. Precipitation, snow, rain, and hail describe various forms of condensed water falling from the atmosphere. Surface runoff and transpiration are parts of the water cycle involving water flow over land and through plants. Accumulation also refers to investing terms.

titans 31 Water Cycle
The document describes the water cycle through defining key terms: condensation reduces gases to liquids, evaporation turns liquids to gases that enter the sky, precipitation brings condensed water back down as rain, snow or hail, and surface runoff and transpiration describe how water moves across land and through plants before accumulating in storms over seas.
Water Cycle
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It involves six main processes: evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, surface runoff, and accumulation. Evaporation turns water from oceans, rivers, and lakes into vapor, and transpiration occurs when water evaporates from plants. Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air cools and turns back into a liquid in clouds. Precipitation results when clouds become too heavy and water falls as rain, snow, sleet or hail. Surface runoff transports precipitation from land to streams and rivers. Accumulation occurs when water flows into oceans, lakes, and seas, restarting the cycle.
Presentation1
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It includes processes such as evaporation where water is changed to a gas, condensation where it returns to a liquid form in clouds, and precipitation where it falls back to Earth as rain, snow, or hail. The water then either soaks into the ground as surface runoff or is taken up by plants through transpiration and the cycle repeats.

The document discusses the water cycle through defining its key components and processes. It explains that condensation is when a gas changes to a liquid, evaporation is when water changes to a vapor, and precipitation is when water falls from the sky as snow, rain or hail. It also outlines how surface runoff, transpiration and accumulation all play a role in the movement and storage of water through the cycle.

Invention and Organization
This week’s assignment is intended to help get you started on the persuasive essay we will be working on throughout the remainder of this course. Before getting started on this assignment, it might be beneficial for you to read the criteria for the Week Six Persuasive Essay.
For this week, we will be practicing topic selection and outlining. Because this is preparation for next week’s persuasive essay, you will need to start by picking a topic that is persuasive. This topic must meet the following criteria:
· Arguable (are there at least two logical, yet opposite ways to look at the issue? Are there at least two sides?)
· Solvable (i.e. avoid religious, moral, or politically charged topics)
· Manageable (keep your topic focused and specific)
Think of a specific problem or issue that you are interested in researching and writing an essay about. This issue should be argumentative in nature, so the topic that you choose should have an equally valid opposing viewpoint.
An example of an appropriate topic would be this:
A specific community is debating an ordinance banning the ownership of pit bulls. Some residents agree that pit bulls should be banned, while others disagree with this position (there is plenty of research to back up either side of the argument).
Your job from there will be to explore the issue, look at both sides of the argument as completely as you can, and take a side. Your essay will be an attempt to convince others to join you in your decision.
Directions
1 Look up and read the following article in the EBSCOhost Database:
2 Step-by-step through the writing process. (2007). Writing, 30. 1-8.
3 (Note: You do not need to answer any of the questions from the reading in your assignment).
4 Read and respond to EACH of the following questions and submit them and your outline in a single document (both parts must be completed).
Part One: Topic Search
For the first part of this assignment, consider the following three questions:
1 What issue or problem would you like to write about? Illegal Immigration
2 Choose a side. What is your view on the issue? What is the opposing view? I oppose having a direct pathway for illegal immigrants to US citizenship
3 What specific change might fix this issue? Enforce current policies and laws that are in place
Then, freewrite for 10-15 minutes about the topic you have chosen. Share all of the reasons you can think of for why your problem needs to be fixed. Do not worry about grammar, spelling, or format. Do not edit. Write what comes to mind. Do not research yet. If you are stumped and cannot write what you know for 10-15 minutes, go back to #1 and start with a new topic.
Part Two: The Outline
Draft an informal outline for your upcoming persuasive paper. Do not include quotations or paraphrased material. Your outline should be built from your current knowledge of the topic. You can refine this later when you conduct your research.
Basic Outline for a Five Paragrap.

Part One: Topic Search
For the first part of this assignment, consider the following three questions:
1 What issue or problem would you like to write about? Illegal Immigration
2 Choose a side. What is your view on the issue? What is the opposing view? I oppose having a direct pathway for illegal immigrants to US citizenship
3 What specific change might fix this issue? Enforce current policies and laws that are in place
Then, freewrite for 10-15 minutes about the topic you have chosen. Share all of the reasons you can think of for why your problem needs to be fixed. Do not worry about grammar, spelling, or format. Do not edit. Write what comes to mind. Do not research yet. If you are stumped and cannot write what you know for 10-15 minutes, go back to #1 and start with a new topic.
Part Two: The Outline
Draft an informal outline for your upcoming persuasive paper. Do not include quotations or paraphrased material. Your outline should be built from your current knowledge of the topic. You can refine this later when you conduct your research.

At the beginning of this week, I felt finding references for my research paper was a little bit difficult. My topic is “women in mass media” and my research question is “Why women are affected by the media the most?” I tried to search articles that were related to my research question through Cypress Library, Gale Literary Sources, and I found two articles from this source. They are “Selling the self: women and the feminine seduction of advertising” of Kristine Blair and “Gender Issues in Advertising Language” of Nancy Artz. In addition, I also did another searching on other resources and found one more article that was “The Role of the Media in Body Image Concerns Among Women: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental and Correlational Studies” of Shelly Grabe. Overall, there was nothing resource that I thought it was the least helpful this week. However, I thought the Gale Literary Sources of Cypress Library was most helpful for me because it provided me two articles. During finding sources, I used keywords, such as “women”, “media effects”, and “advertising”, and I refined my keywords as I went along. Moreover, I also found more keywords, such as “meta-analysis” and “body image”. The database provided the most material for my topic was the result of the experiment in the article “The Role of the Media in Body Image Concerns Among Women: A Meta-Analysis of Experimental and Correlational Studies”. I did not find sources from credible Internet sources. According to these article, I was able to find specific statistics to add to my essay. My impression overall of my research experience is writing a research paper is not easy and requires the writer to take time and follow the procedure to achieve it.

I had to research on my topic of, the impact of social media on society. I was surprised how difficult it was to actually find some research. Being that this topic is so relevant in this day and age, I thought I would find what I needed much easier. I read online day and night researching different things, but mostly things related to medicine. I am also very used to Google as a go to source, which I am sure is used most by everyone for quick information.
