This document provides instructions for a student art project involving creating a still life composition using toys and treats with colored pencils. Students will bring in toys and candy to use for arranging compositions, do thumbnail sketches of arrangements, and receive feedback on which composition works best before gluing items and gridding their paper to transfer and color the composition. The project aims to develop observational drawing skills and techniques with colored pencils while applying art elements and principles of design.
Prof K provides tips for leading puppet making activities with children that encourage creativity and individual expression. The tips emphasize allowing children to make their own choices with minimal copying, providing structure that allows for multiple solutions, and using simple examples to demonstrate without forcing replication. Challenging projects that are slightly above a child's ability can help them learn new skills, and open-ended questions can stretch their imaginations. Positive feedback should recognize individuals and the group, being specific about what is seen rather than just saying "good job." Most importantly, children should do the entire project themselves with guidance, not having the leader do it for them.

Scores are then categorized into ranges with descriptions of how others may perceive someone with a score in that range, such as "cautious" or "impulsive leader".
The document discusses challenges related to agricultural development and land investments in the Nile River Basin. It notes that while the basin has high agricultural potential due to available land and water resources, a lack of regional coordination has led to national-level developments that do not consider transboundary impacts. Foreign land acquisitions in the basin have increased since 2008 but have faced issues including impacts on local food security, environment, and resource-based conflicts. A regional approach is needed to manage agricultural development and water allocation that considers both national development needs and regional peace and security.
Land 'Grabbing' in the Nile Basin and implications for the regional water sec...Ana Cascao
ย
The document discusses land acquisitions in the Nile Basin region by foreign investors from Gulf countries, India, China, the US, and EU, as well as national investors. These land deals involve long-term leases of large plots of agricultural land, often over 100,000 hectares, with cheap rental rates and access to water resources. Two major deals are highlighted involving Saudi and Indian companies in Ethiopia. There are concerns that these land acquisitions could impact the regional water security and balance of power between Nile Basin countries by changing water flow regimes and agricultural production upstream.

This document provides a 4-step process for generating ideas for writing assignments:
1. Identify a theme or concept from the class material or writing prompt. Write this as the top of the page.
2. Derive a driving question from the prompt or theme to focus the writing.
3. Generate possible answers to the question by making inferences and listing ideas without judging quality yet.
4. Find evidence from the source text to support each idea, keeping those without evidence for further brainstorming. The best supported ideas will form the basis for the written assignment.
This document provides guidance on outlining and drafting an essay. The first stage involves creating a working thesis that answers the driving question without mentioning the novel or author's name. It also involves grouping similar evidence and writing topic sentences relating the evidence to the thesis. The second stage focuses on revising for connections between ideas, grammar, supporting the thesis, properly formatting, and repeated reading.

This document describes the Perceived Stress Scale, a psychological instrument used to measure the perception of stress. It contains 10 questions regarding feelings and thoughts over the last month, with responses on a scale of 0 to 4. Scores are calculated and can indicate low, moderate, or high perceived stress levels. The key point is that individuals may experience the same events differently depending on their personal perception of stress, so self-assessment is important.

Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment purposefully and non-judgmentally. It originated from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction programs and involves meditation practices aimed at improving focus, awareness of one's body and emotions, and the ability to cope with stress. Over 18,000 studies on mindfulness have explored applications for conditions like cancer, heart disease, mental illnesses, and more. Mindfulness is thought to work by improving emotional regulation and the ability to handle unpleasant feelings through increased awareness of thoughts, body sensations, and a changed perspective of the self.

The document advises verbally helping peers without showing work and making time to work with teachers rather than classmates to avoid accidental cheating.
This document provides tips for effective note taking in class. It recommends focusing on the key points rather than writing down every word, using visual cues from the teacher, and finding the main thesis through multiple readings.
