Assembly powerpoint
The document discusses different ways that people can react when others treat them badly: like a turtle by hiding one's head and speaking softly; like a shark by yelling angrily and using threats; or like an owl by making eye contact, speaking firmly but politely, and using a conflict resolution tool. The students in Room 6 determined that reacting like an owl is best because it allows one to be taken seriously without escalating the situation into more trouble.
Healing the Root of Anger
The document discusses how to heal the root cause of anger. It states that anger is often not about the situation that triggers it, but rather physiology and early childhood experiences. To heal anger, one must look beyond the current story to the underlying raw emotion, which usually stems from events in the first five years of life. Getting past projecting anger onto situations through transference requires reflection and potentially counseling, in order to address the true roots of anger.
Resolving conflict
The 7 steps to conflict resolution document outlines a process for resolving conflicts through open communication and understanding different perspectives. The 7 steps are: 1) develop a resolution attitude, 2) plan your approach, 3) arrange a time and place to talk, 4) share your stories to gain understanding, 5) listen actively and with empathy, 6) generate solutions, and 7) test for satisfaction. Key principles are taking shared responsibility, recognizing differences, preserving dignity, listening to understand rather than debate, generating solutions, and following up to ensure resolution.

The list covers a wide range of everyday terms without additional context around their usage.
How to take on Criticism
The document provides tips for how to effectively take criticism. It recommends (1) considering the source of the criticism and whether they have relevant expertise or understanding of the subject; (2) staying calm and listening openly to understand the criticism; (3) changing one's perspective to view criticism as an opportunity for growth rather than something humiliating; (4) taking ownership of one's mistakes rather than making excuses; (5) asking clarifying questions if the criticism is vague to have a dialogue and better understanding; and (6) thanking the person providing criticism and following up on it. The overall message is that criticism, when received well, can help one improve.
Handling conflict
Handle conflict by using "I" statements, speaking calmly and avoiding blame while focusing on feelings. Create an atmosphere of healing through respect, honesty, willingness to forgive, forget and compromise as needed. Apologize for mistakes to find resolution.

Talking Safely
The document provides guidance on effective communication when disagreements occur or sensitive topics need to be discussed. It outlines common mistakes in speaking and listening when upset, such as attacking, exaggerating, rambling, being vague or indirect, only preparing a response rather than listening, and getting distracted by feelings.
It then introduces some tools for improving communication, including power listening, where the listener paraphrases to confirm understanding without judgment, and power dialogue, where rules structure turns for speaking and listening to ensure both parties feel heard. When people feel understood, conflict can deescalate and problem solving become possible. These techniques aim to build empathy, connection, and mutual understanding even in challenging discussions.
Tips to remember....
Never respond when angry, take time to calm down with deep breaths. Speak gently to reduce tension and find opportunities in negative situations as Einstein said difficulties contain opportunities.

Environmental science module 2 notes
Energy exists in different forms and can be transferred but not created or destroyed. Common energy types include potential, kinetic, chemical, thermal, nuclear, and others. Measurement units include joules, watts, kilowatts, and more. Energy comes from renewable sources like solar, wind, hydro, and biomass as well as non-renewable fossil fuels and nuclear. Renewable energy sources have environmental impacts related to supply, land use, and effects on wildlife while non-renewables release emissions and nuclear has waste and safety issues. Meeting energy demand requires considering factors like technology, costs, policies, and intermittent renewable sources. Methods to balance supply and demand include load leveling, peak shaving, smart grids, and energy
