Nov. 8: U.S. election day! and "the other 'f' word

You will receive an election ballot via email.

​We will also do a debrief on the Peace Initiative's presentation on "The Other F Word"

​ESSENTIAL QUESTION:

• How does the negative stigma around failure impact the relationships we have and our health?

GREETINGS:

• Walk & Talk: Thinking about Thursday’s Peace Initiative Assembly, what resonated with you?
• ​Ball Toss: Share a moment when you experienced failure and how it impacted you.

Honest Answers about Failure:
Everyone writes their answer on on a small piece of paper, crumples it up, and throws it into the middle of the circle.
​Then, everyone collects one balled-up paper.
Go around the room, sharing the answers on the paper, and everyone tries to guess who wrote it.

• ​How do you react to failure?
• How do you recover from failure?
• ​Pressure from society?

​

After viewing (and laughing!):  

• Why did you laugh? Are these serious fails?
  
• How does this link to the assembly presentation?
  
• How can we lighten up and relax when we experience fails?
  
• How can we match the size of our reaction to the size of the problem/failure?  (See Social Thinking)
