The goal of these three modules is to support community building while sharing and making use of best practices for writing. More specifically, the conversation centers on a common experience, namely the COVID-19 pandemic, through diverse perspectives and mediums, providing greater awareness of what we share and how we differ within communities as we work through challenges. In addition, students will be encouraged to integrate their own voices into the conversation, understanding the value of their perspective to themselves and others while increasing their understanding of college writing and its conventions.
*These modules are constructed to support insertion at any point in the term.
Implementation Goals: *Common themes to allow students to bring forward their own experiences in reflecting on and challenging resources *Multiple pathways to issues and themes (video, audio, textual, etc.) *Diverse perspectives and critical thinking modeled generated in group discussion *Clarity in connection between goals and objectives *Student choice of focus in long papers to support their plans and priorities *Clear rubrics to be used for discussion posts, rough drafts, and final grading *Offer option for written or audio feedback on drafts and final papers

In Yoga Minds, Writing Bodies, Christy Wenger argues for the inclusion of …
In Yoga Minds, Writing Bodies, Christy Wenger argues for the inclusion of Eastern-influenced contemplative education within writing studies. She observes that, although we have "embodied" writing education in general by discussing the rhetorics of racialized, gendered, and disabled bodies, we have done substantially less to address the particular bodies that occupy our classrooms. She proposes that we turn to contemplative education practices that engages student bodies through fusing a traditional curriculum with contemplative practices including yoga, meditation, and the martial arts. Drawing strength from the recent "quiet revolution" (Zajonc) of contemplative pedagogy within postsecondary education and a legacy of field interest attributable to James Moffett, this project draws on case studies of first-year college writers to present contemplative pedagogy as a means of teaching students mindfulness of their writing and learning in ways that promote the academic, rhetorical work accomplished in first-year composition classes while at the same time remaining committed to a larger scope of a writer's physical and emotional well-being.

Two Main Goals of the Text
Provide information about evidence-based practice nursing with a focus on the muddy areas that are often challenging to learn when first starting out to learn about evidence-based practice in nursing.

The author of the text recommends that other credible sources of information are used along with the textbook to promote the breadth and value of learning from multiple sources. The critical thinker should always use multiple sources to enrich their mind with perspectives from a variety of scholars.
The Overall Aim of the Text is to provide information to develop nurses as consumers of research evidence to improve patient/family/community outcomes.

250 years ago, on 16 December 1770, Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany. To celebrate his anniversary, cultural heritage institutions around Europe organized concerts, exhibitions, talks, and the #Beethoven250 event to celebrate the anniversary and to commemorate the Ode to Joy from the choral movement of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony as an anthem of European fraternity and the official anthem of the European Union. As a powerful network between cultural heritage institutions and educational sectors, the Europeana Education community in October 2020 launched #reinventingBeethoven – a creative educational challenge for students in primary and secondary schools inspired by Beethoven’s life and work. The challenge aimed to encourage students’ creativity with cultural heritage resources from the Europeana website, to introduce music as a powerful educational tool in the classroom for all subjects, and to make students aware of people with disabilities. We invited teachers to introduce Beethoven’s life and work to students and coordinate the creation of an artwork, with prizes for the most popular pieces. To help teachers and engage students, Europeana staff published a new gallery called 'Life and Works of Beethoven', two blog posts 'Beethoven's Ode to Joy: a cultural kaleidoscope' and 'Geniuses and their (dis)abilities' and a Historiana’s source collection.
