STUDENT 1  )Reply from Alyssa Holthaus
Hi everyone,
1. What I learned from the videos is that everyone has stress in their life but it is how each person deals with stress on a regular basis that affects how their bodies and minds react. I also learned different coping mechanisms that can help reduce stress in your daily life. 
2. Some situations that cause me stress are when I have to go to new environments such as different job location for the day. Another situation is going to social gatherings where I do not know some of the people. Having a time limit is also a large stressor for me because I typically feel that people will get annoyed if I take too long to do something or doing assignments on time. 
3. My coping mechanisms as far as the time limit, I try to plan things I have to do ahead such as preparing my lunch the night before or looking at our class assignments on my break at work so that I know what I have to do. I also try to do a breathing technique when I feel overwhelmed during the day or when I am at a social gatherings. I can’t always decide to go for a walk in the middle of my day. During the pandemic I dealt with stress by keeping in contact with people important to me. I also took a quick walk around my street so I was not bored because being bored also causing me stress. I am trying to add more exercise into my daily routine because I know that will not only help my body but my mind as well.
4. A situation I know causes stress to children is coming into a new environment such as a care center. I see this a lot at my job. Children show their stress by crying, isolate themselves, look confused or lost, holding onto a certain item. When I see a child is stressed I offer comfort and if they do not want it right away I give them their space and tell them when they are ready they can come over and sit with me and give a little hug if they want one. 
5. One way I help children cop with their stress is I sit not right next to them but by them and I do my own activity and talk with them, I can explain I get stressed too about what they are stressed about such as going into a new place.

Introduction: background/context.  Devote one sentence to an overview of the First Amendment and public college campuses.  A couple sentences that provide an overview of the Rasmussen and his tweet.  Thesis statement.
Body paragraph 1: fully explain the First Amendment and how it functions on a public college campus.  Very few limitations (threatening an individual) but otherwise, you are allowed to say what you want without fear of governmental repercussions.  A democracy values everyone’s ideas and opinions, so allowing everyone to express themselves in school models the values of democracy (ACLU). 
Body paragraph 2: Harm of allowing Rasmussen to keep his job.  Rasmussen’s bias could manifest in worse grades for female students and therefore negatively impact their education.  In the classroom, students might not feel respected and therefore become disinvested in succeeding in that class.
Body paragraph 3: Benefit of allowing Rasmussen to keep his job.  Debate his ideas and prove him wrong.  His public announcement of bias allows female students to make the choice not to enroll in his class.
Body paragraph 4: Harper values respect.  Quote from the Harper website (respect).  We can respect his ideas but he doesn’t appear to respect other people’s. 
Conclusion: If we want all students to be treated with respect but also need to enforce Freedom of Speech, what can we do?  Can’t fire him for what he says but we can fire him if he doesn’t do his job.
IU’s solutions: double blind grading and alternative class (quote the article).  Explain how this eliminates bias.  Drawbacks – this costs of the college money.
Students can boycott his class.  If students don’t enroll, Rasmussen won’t have a class to teach and can lose his job. 
Historical analysis of the grades his students have earned.  If there is clear bias, then he can be dealt with. 

PLEASE RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING POST OF ANOTHER CLASSMATE IN 100 WORDS OR MORE: 
1. ‘Unwomen’ are any women who go against the Gilead gender roles and rules. Offreds mother was an independent strong willed single mother, who was also an activist. This goes against how Gilead wanted their women to behave. The Aunts mute the ‘unwomen’ in the film because they’re thoughts and feelings are considered worthless in Gilead.  
2. I understand why Offred would be excited for ‘Birth Day’ because any birth, regardless of the situation is special. It also allows them to break from their normal routine, which given their life, can be a big deal. Of course she would need to prepare emotionally and physically because assisting anyone with a birth can be taxing. I do not think Offred is a true believer but I do think she wants a child, to simply have a child. Which is why she there and if she doesn’t have a child, she will be moved and she only recently developed a working relationship with the Commander. 
3. “He was not a monster, to her. Probably had some endearing trait.”
The relationship between the Commander and Offred is changing as Offred is attempting to cope while also trying to navigate the complexities of her new life. The thought that she maybe trying to find something endearing about the Commander is a hard concept. Especially considering he is part of the reason Offred lost her freedom and help build the foundation of Gilead. 
4. Offred felt that she became her husbands property after the government ban her from working or having control over her own money is interesting. We all know the cost of living and many people live in a two income household. The fact she was no longer allow to work or use money would be a hard concept for anyone to have to deal with. However, I do not think she reflected on the fact that her husband was accepting of his finacinal responsibly to care not only for her but their daughter and was willing to do so. She seemed more focused on her lack of control. Moria on the other hand just blames men in general. This time period in the book reminded me of the “Walk to Freedom” and the civil rights movement lead by Martin Luther King. 
5. The Commander’s explanation for Gilead is garbage. There is no justification for slavery.
6. In the passage Offred is describing love as not only a feeling but something felt through physical touch, something tangible that you yearn for. The contemporary concept of love is similar to religion, to understand love is to understand religion and to know love, is to know pain. All three of them are intertwined but it is hard to say if they are rational or not. 
7. Do you think Offred really loves Nick or using him?

What is play to you??
Watch the video upload to understand what is play?
This week we discussed the important topic of play and the role in children’s learning and development. For this week’s discussion board, you will interview four different adults in your life and ask the following: 
What is your definition of play?
What kinds of play do you think young children  (birth to age 8) enjoy?
For your original post, please share the responses you received from the adults you interviewed and your own ideas on what constitutes play. How is this different from the characteristics in our text and course materials for this week? Why do you think adults might have a hard time understanding that children are engaged in important activity when they play?

SECOND WORK 
 
Discussion Instructions
 To begin, type your responses to questions 1-5 in the Reply box below these instructions..  
 
TOPIC.  How do you handle stress?
Stress is increasingly a part of our lives. What are ways we can protect ourselves from its long term, damaging effects?   Watch the following two animations in youtube link, then answer the following questions:

 
Describe what you have learned from both videos.
As discussed in the videos, stress can be good but it can be toxic as well.  What situations or circumstances cause anxiety or stress to you?  Identify your particular stressors.
List and discuss the coping mechanisms that you use to deal with stress and your stressors, i.e. give some examples of how you handle stress, or try to reduce it.  Think of the pandemic.  Many of us experienced disruptions to our daily lives.  Please share with us how you managed stress during the pandemic.  Based on what you know about how stress affects you and what you’ve learned about how stress can affect us, do you think your ways of managing stress could be improved?  Why or why not? 
Adults are not the only ones that experience stress.  What are some situations that may cause anxiety and stress in children?  How might you recognize children who are experiencing stress?  What are some of the signs that children may exhibit?
Teachers and parents can improve the health environment that children are exposed to by providing education, supervision, role modeling, and working together.  How can you as a teacher and/or parent help children cope with these stressors?  Please provide AT LEAST 2 examples. Again, think about the last 2.5 years.  For example, if you quarantined with your children, younger siblings, and/or other younger family members during the pandemic what are 2 ways that you helped them adjust and deal with those changes to our daily lives?

Scoring and Interpretation
For Strategic Innovator style, score one point for each A answer circled for questions 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 and for each B answer circled for questions 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. For Strategic Adaptor style, score one point for each B answer circled for questions 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, and for each A answer circled for questions 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Which of your two scores is higher and by how much? The higher score indicates your strategy style.
  
Strategic Innovator and Strategic Adaptor are two important ways leaders bring creativity to strategic management. Leaders with an adaptor style tend to work within the situation as it is given and improve it by making it more efficient and reliable. They succeed by building on what they know is true and proven. Leaders with the innovator style push toward a new paradigm and want to find a new way to do something. Innovators like to explore uncharted territory, seek dramatic breakthroughs, and may have difficulty accepting an ongoing strategy. Both innovator and adaptor styles are essential to strategic management, but with different approaches. The Strategic Adaptor asks, “How can I make this better?” The Strategic Innovator asks, “How can I make this different?” Strategic Innovators often use their skills in the formulation of whole new strategies. Strategic Adaptors are often associated with incremental strategic improvements along with strategy execution.
If the difference between the two scores is 2 or less, you have a mid-adaptor/innovator style, and work well in both areas. If the difference is 4–6, you have a moderately strong style and probably work best in the area of your strength. And if the difference is 8–10, you have a strong style and almost certainly would want to work in the area of your strength rather than in the opposite domain.
