  1. For each of the 3 main arcs presented within ‘Revelations’, tell me a.) images/moments that you see, and b.)
    what stood out to you in terms of visuals, what you felt in a particular moment, etc.
    The three main arcs (as listed in the NY Times article)
    Pilgrim of Sorrow (0:00-9:35)
    Take Me to the Water/Wade in the Water (9:36-19:37)
    Move, Members, Move (19:38-end)
  2. Think about these three words: Ritual, Transformation, Sacred Space. Look up their definitions if you want to
    clarify your understanding of them. Thinking back to the historical context I gave, the two articles, watching
    “Revelations”, and your own personal experience /knowledge bank, in what ways can this piece demonstrate
    all of these words?
    Name and explain 3-5 ways that “Revelations” embodies these words individually, or together

Invitation-Spatial and Play

/in /by

Invitation: Spatiality as a Construct for Early Childhood Play, you are invited to contemplate how spatial theory helps us make sense of the play lives of children and the reciprocal relationships between space
and play. Here are some questions you may wish to mull over as you read: What parts of the reading do you find useful for your own thinking? What parts spur disconnection? What new understandings about play &
space did you encounter? What questions do the readings bring up for you? Part 1: Historical Groundings Everyone will read: Gukdi, J. (n.d.) Intro-What is the spatial turn?

Part 6: Try-it-out 1 Exploring the Spatial and PlaySpatial AnalysisThis week, you will analyze spatial
happenings. For this try-it-out, you will: Watch all three of the following videos:VIDEO 1: AnjiPlay:

following questions:What are the bodies doing?Where are the bodies?How are the bodies interacting with one
another?How are the bodies interacting with material objects?What are the material objects?Where are the
material objects? What do the material objects do? What spaces are used for learning? How are spaces
organized? What does the space do? What are the people saying to one another? What kind of language is
being used? How are the people interacting with one another through language? Where else do you see the
language that is valued? How is the language connected to the material objects and space? How are spatial theories helping you make sense of the videos? Part 7: Try-it-out 2 Exploring the Spatial and Play For part 3,
you will create a plays pace by building a fort in your home. You can use any materials you have available
(sheets, blankets, boxes, twinkle lights, etc.) be creative. There are only a few rules: 1. Make a fort.2. Get in
the fort and spend at least 20 minutes inside. If you live with others, invite them to create and get in the fort
with you. 3. Do whatever you want when you are inside the fort. Using digital photos, document your process of
making the fort, how the fort looks outside and inside, and what you did in the fort. Using this week’s readings,
craft a photo essay analyzing your fort. (Use Hofsess et. al.’s work as an example of a photo essay.)

Communication is much more than simply talking.

/in /by

  1. Communication is much more than simply talking. It involves ensuring that our messages are being delivered the way we intended, that the recipient’s reaction is what we anticipate, and the message is delivered in a considerate and appropriate manner. It also involves actively listening. Communication in today’s environment also includes electronic communication and social networking.

Using your textbook and at least one additional scholarly source, provide examples of effective or ineffective patterns from your own experience.

Communication is very important in the workplace. In my experience, a lot of managers are not effective communicators which is a form of downward communication. At my current employer, my direct supervisor sometimes has ineffective communication skills. She has sent out emails to the staff that does not include clear directions of certain job tasks. Emails are normally sent back to her to obtain clarity on the directions of the requested tasks. Prior to the pandemic when we were working in the office, she demonstrated strong body language at several meetings. She has conveyed facial expressions of dis-satisfactions for certain topics being discussed. In addition, she does not actively respond to emails timely. Emails may not receive a response for more than 3 to 4 days unless a follow up email is sent to request a response. There are times that messages may be sent to her through instant message on Microsoft Teams and she will not respond unless a follow up message is sent to her.
These communication concerns were addressed with her and she stated she is working on improving her communication skills. However, poor communication can lead to low employee morale. At times, I do not feel comfortable addressing certain issues with her because I am not sure how she is going to react or if she has time to address certain issues with me.
