you know what most people have a bad day they start looking outside themselves
maybe the boss is upsetting me maybe the house is dirty
maybe traffic is too heavy maybe maybe maybe there's always these external
reasons why people are having a bad day well in this video I'm gonna point on a
few things that people do to themselves that make them have a bad day and when
you're having a bad day check this list of things that I'm going
to mention in this video and see what you're not doing
very simple most of the time it's these things that we're not doing that create
a lousy day for us so next time you feel unhappy in your day are you feeling
depressed or life is just got you down you can always say to yourself
Terry G told me to think about this these things here we go first one is how
much sleeping you're getting when you're in your teens you know 17 18 19 21 20 is
not really eating your teens that's it you know you could run out 4 or 5 hours
sleep no problem but as adults with children job responsibilities we all be
7 to 8 hours sleep of great sleep every day of the week every day of the week so
if you're feeling really rotten one day just check back the last couple of days
and see how much sleep you got because it's alright maybe to sleep three hours
or four hours one maybe even two nights I know for me I go crazy if I don't get
enough sleep but if you're sleep-deprived over three or four days
come Friday at the end of the week you're gonna be so tired and you're
gonna feel so down in the dumps that's number one check how much sleep you're
getting if you're not getting enough sleep
shame on you get to bed early get off the laptop get off the computer get off
the Netflix and get to bed and have a great night's sleep because you'll be
happier you will be happier number two pay attention to what you're eating if
you get up in the morning run out the door and just have a coffee in one of
those granola bar things and you're wondering why you feeling agitated are
you feeling anxious and you're not calm at work it's because you're not eating
properly one of main reasons people have Downer days is
because they're not eating properly you're not paying attention to what
you're putting into your body maybe you're putting two hives sugar too many
sugar drinks in your body maybe you're eating too many chips and chocolate bars
throughout the day this causes you to be anxious it causes you to be to feel more
stressed out it really does so pay attention to what you're eating drink
lots of water four to five glasses of water each day try and eat three square
meals a day vegetables with fruit a little bit of meat some chicken
try and do that but try and eat properly so next time you're having a bad day
you're feeling a little anxious see what you've eaten for that day and you might
be surprised because when you eat properly you'll feel calmer you'll think
better you'll feel better and your stress levels will go down because
you'll give your body fuel to take on the world and what is the number three
thing on my list the number three thing on my list is exercise are you
exercising enough nowadays a lot of people go to work and they sit on their
butt all day long and they really don't do a lot but eat junk food and maybe
drink a lot of coffee I know I see office workers around where I work and
that's what they're all doing drinking a lot of coffee sitting on their Duff all
day and they wonder why they feel lethargic or they feel tired or there's
no energy or they just feel down because working out or exercising really really
benefits you and if you could do a 10 15 20 minutes a day your whole spirits will
be uplifted and you'll feel better about your life in general and just a sidebar
did you know if you went for a 10 or 20 minute walk around the block the results
from that walking what is tremendous it reduces heart disease stroke it'll
reduce blood pressure it's good for diabetes and also it'll relieve stress
in your life and who knows if you take a friend with you you can talk about life
and have a little fun while you're walking so number three is exercise
exercise as much as you can during the week at least 15 to 20 minutes a day is
the recommended amount of time to exercise and number four is man
your stress levels just to start off with there's two kinds of stresses
there's a good stress and there's a bad stress number two the good stress would
be like going to the gym stressing your body out you're going to the gym your
key you're stressing yourself but it's a really good stress you get a lot of
positive positive results in that stress the second one is negative stresses like
when you get up in the morning not even out of the house and you've got a big
to-do list for that day so balancing your day or balancing your time during
that day and keeping an eye on your stress levels because if you get a
feeling of being overwhelmed or you put yourself on a big timeline during your
day it's gonna cause you stress so before you start your day or maybe the
night before make a list of things that you want to get accomplished that day
and maybe 1 2 3 4 in importance so feeling overwhelmed or managing your
stresses keep an eye on that keep an eye on those kind of things we all have
stress in our lives we all have responsibilities but a lot of times we
put our stresses the stresses of life we put on ourselves we really do so take a
look at that take a hard look at that and number five is fun do you have fun
like I'm not talking about the fun going drinking a bottle of wine or smoking a
few doobies I'm not talking about that kind of fun like I'm talking about maybe
call a friend up have a few laughs or go out for a walk or golf for dinner but
make time in your daily life to have some fun have some laughter in your life
look at the lighter side of life throughout the day and go out of your
way to have fun do that it's really important we have to make time for that
nowadays because we're always so busy ok I hope you find this video helpful and

untwisted voice of Terry Qi and as usual look after yourself because it shows and
have a great day thank you

Essay #4 Walkthrough Video Lecture - Duration: 7:44.
Hello class and welcome to Music as Social Commentary Essay #4 walk through lecture.
okay I've done this with all of your previous essays. what I want to do
is show you what the assignment sheet page looks like ,where to focus your
attention, but of course first you must focus your attention on everything. And this is
a bit of a longer assignment sheet because this is a longer essay. This is
the large research essay that every English 1a class must accomplish, alright?
And you are ready for this. So it is worth a little bit more than your
previous essays have been. It is worth 20% of the course grade. Under consider
I'm gonna remind you that you read two very challenging articles. You read David
Hadju's "Music in the Meltdown" and you read Joan Morgan's "Fly girls- Bitches- and
Hoes: Notes from a Hip-Hop Feminist" Both articles are social commentaries okay?
Both of these writers are discussing a musical movement related to an important
social issue and both are arguing how we should react ,respond, and feel
about that particular social issue. They use music as their evidence, but they
also use scholarly material- reports- statistics, etc. to help make their
arguments. Hadju's claim is that we are living in dire economic times and that
the music that reflects the weak economy is terrible to the point of being
unlistenable; this is his thesis- that's his argument. And then as evidence he
brings in all those old folk songs and original blues songs and says see this
is what we do when we are sad. This is what we do when we are broke. And then he
compares that time period of the 1929 stock market crash to the 2009 home
market crash, where he talks about Big and Rich and Lil' Jeezy, and some other
artists and what they have talked about with the
bail out. So here is your prompt, and remember your job as the writer is to
address the essay prompt. So you're going to select a social issue or event that
has been discussed in music, either in the past, or currently and you're going
to construct a thesis arguing what that music is saying about this particular
social issue. Read the songs as an argument. What are they all advocating?
How are they telling us to feel- to respond ? And I think you should do this
part first because you want to pick no more than four songs to use in your
essay and they should all be supporting the same argument okay? They should all
be advocating the same thing all right? So homophobia is bad right, get off drugs,
homelessness is an issue we must address, child neglect is terrible. So you
want to make sure that you pick songs that are in support of the argument you
want to make. And then it is much easier to find research of a scholarly
nature okay, once you have the argument idea down, and your thesis down. Now this
is a large essay you will need eight sources total and I've divided that into
popular and scholarly sources, and you'll be watching a video on the difference
between the two. So things like interviews on YouTube, music reviews,
tweets okay, song lyrics, those are all popular source materials and you will
need to use about four okay? You can certainly use more than four but I would
not use more than four songs. Scholarly sources are the meat of your argument
they are your proof. So you're going to be interpreting what a particular artist
is saying in his or her music and then you're going to use the scholarly source
material to support that. So for example racial profiling okay? I've had a lot of
students write on this topic the idea that more men of color are imprisoned and
racially profiled then white males are is a fact, so maybe Jay-Z is
singing about this okay? And he's got a rap that he's doing about it, and then
you could find some statistics on racial profiling which you use in support of that
idea. That's really the happiest of marriages all right. You're gonna want to
revisit the library research module that is in your course. I've moved it so that
it's right below tools for the course, and there you will find all kinds of
help, and you can certainly ask the librarians directly for help okay? Once
you've picked your topic. And I've given you a list of topics that have been used
in prior classes with great success, but certainly you can have your own and you
have already done the proposal for me so I will be getting you information back
on that right away, letting you know if I think your topic is going to work okay?
The only topic that's off-limits is mine, right, the Cold War in the 1980s. And then
there is your rubric. So this is an 8 to 10 page paper- 12-point type font all
right. The essay has to have a works cited page that includes all of your source
materials. The essay's work cited page does not count as one of the eight pages
of writing that you need to do okay? Short papers will be docked. The essay
must use direct quotes from all sources and again you might think about
balancing your direct quotes with paraphrases and summaries. The essay must
have a clear thesis that discusses what the music tells readers to know- to think-
or feel about this clearly-defined social issue. It must be grammatically
correct- written at college level English expectations- and it must follow MLA
format. And remember this is your final essay out of class -you will do a final
essay for finals, but that is a much shorter and much more informal project.
This is really the culmination of all the work you've been doing this semester.
So I want you to look at your due dates below for
various things. And I want you to read through this closely. And I want you to
ask a lot of questions okay? The people that do best on this assignment are
those who have a very tightly constructed topic. They know what they
want to write on and they call it something okay, body shaming for example.
And they have songs in mind that discuss this idea, and discuss it in a manner
that they can quote from. And that is really how you begin, but do leave time
and you you've been given quite a bit of time for research okay, a week for doing
research and I think that that is about right. For eight to ten sources you're
going to need several hours okay, probably a good forty hours roughly.
So I would make sure that you get started with that right away,
and ask your questions along the way please, all right, good luck.

Quotes, Paraphrase, and Summary Video Lecture - Duration: 5:30.
Hello class, I'm gonna go over with you today information about the differences
between quoting material- paraphrasing material -and summarizing material.You'll
be using summary, paraphrase and quotations quite a bit in English 1a and
beyond. Each of them has their own sort of special superpower, and each of them
has their limitations. Now where I'm looking is the Purdue OWL, the online
Writing Lab which I use quite a bit in place of a handbook for MLA, but it's
also full of other wonderful things so when you click on the Purdue Online
Writing Lab link in your tools for the course, keep in mind that there is a lot
here that can help you with grammar, plagiarism avoidance, writing abstracts
if you are in a science class, and other types of help. They are a really
wonderful resource. So we're going to practice this next with a writing
assignment, but real quickly some of the differences here that need to be noted
and the things that students get confused about are paraphrasing and
summarizing. So what is the difference between these two? We all pretty much
understand that quotes are word-for-word from the original text and that they
have quotation marks around them showing that it's a quote, unless of course they
are a long quote and then they follow a different format, and they have a
parenthetical citation at the end. So paraphrasing, I always think of the
phrasing part of this to remind me, like speaking okay?
So this is almost like saying- writing in the same words as the original, but what
you're doing is you're putting the material into your own words. It's really
kind of an interpretation okay? I ask students to do this quite a bit when we
begin to work on thesis development. And we're reading difficult and challenging
works and I will ask you- put the author's argument in your own words-
that's paraphrasing. Now paraphrasing material is also usually shorter than
the original okay. You do use a parenthetical citation with
a paraphrase just like you would a quote, because it's not an original idea of
yours alright. Lastly summaries summaries are usually
a little bit larger than paraphrases. They involve using your own words as well, but
they're much more general and they're much more broad. So every time you go to
a movie and someone asks you what the movie was about and you give them a plot
summary okay, " oh it was really great, you know, Black Panther was about the this
guy and he's a king and then this other guy comes and fights him for his kingdom
and he has this really smart sister." Whenever you do who was called a plot
summary you are summarizing, okay. Now you still need to attribute the ideas that
you're summarizing to the original text so summaries also get parenthetical
citations. This little part here about why do we use them is really interesting
because I like to think of them all combined together and here is what we
have an example of. So when you are writing your essays you can't use quote
after quote after quote, but you do have to situate your reader in a position
where they can read a quote and that is where summary comes into play. So maybe
you summarize a bit of this short story, or a bit of the novel, and then you use a
direct quote okay? Or maybe you're paraphrasing an idea and then you lead
into a direct quote okay? So let's look at the example real briefly where this
writer has intertwined summary paraphrase and quotation. So in his
famous and influential work the interpretation of Dreams Sigmund Freud
argues that dreams are the quote "Royal Road to the unconscious" and then there's
our parenthetical citation. So this is an introduction to the book and then these
are Sigmund Freud's words. Expressing encoded imagery the dreamers unfulfilled
wishes through a process known as quote "dream work" this is a paraphrase.
Obviously the writer did not come up with these ideas of coded imagery
and unfulfilled wishes, but he got those ideas from Freud,
so again parenthetical citation. According to Freud actual but
unacceptable desires are censored internally and subjected to coding
through layers of condensation and displacement before emerging in a kind of
rebus puzzle in the dream itself. Now this is a summary, so as you can see it's
only three sentences or three lines long but the chapter of the book is much
longer than that so the this person is giving us the gist -the gist- the quick
and dirty I call it- of what this chapter is about, but again, those ideas are
Freud's and not hers so a parenthetical citation after the
summary, okay? And how to use quotes paraphrases and summaries we will
practice this quite a bit. You're going to practice now with examples that I
will put onto a assignment for you for quoting directly- paraphrasing- and
summarizing, alright? Good luck.
