Wellness Activity Assignment

Yesterday we began talking about mindfulness by watching this TED talk by Andy Puddicombe:

Mini-Lesson Assignment
You are going to teach the class a skill/lesson. Today you are going to have the option to research a wellness strategy that you think may be useful in your own life in helping you be more mindful. After researching, you will then teach the strategy to the class! Your other option is to choose a topic of your own to teach to the class.

1. For the health and wellness presentation: Your presentation to the group should include:
1. A detailed explanation of the strategy and why it is effective
2. An example of the strategy in practice: you can show a video, demonstrate yourself, or describe how the strategy is implemented.
3.Time for the class to practice the strategy
