From Chaos to Clarity: Introduction To The Thought Download (8-10)

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed with your daily tasks, stress, and peer pressure that you seem to just freeze up? Does it become almost impossible for you to filter through all of the information flooding into your brain and just choose a place to start? If so, I have the solution: the mighty thought download. In this class you will learn how to use this very simple yet highly effective method of processing and organizing your thoughts to declutter your mind and gain clarity and focus on the most important things. 

This class utilizes Peardeck slides and is fully interactive. Students will be able to engage with the slides from their computer and will participate in group discussions and group response activities. Learners should be able to think about and write words and thoughts independently. You will be asked to record your thoughts on paper in different ways throughout the class. Your record thoughts will be kept private and are for your benefit only. You will not be asked to share any private thoughts that you write down as part of your thought download. 

**IMPORTANT: The first 5 minutes of this class are dedicated to helping everyone sign into peardeck and ensuring all students are ready to participate in the interactive course. The course instruction itself is 40 minutes long. Students are welcome to sign into class 5 minutes early if they would like additional help with technology setup. The first slide on peardeck is a coloring/doodle page for students to engage with while they wait for everyone to get ready.

Included with this course are several printable thought download templates so that you can use your new skill in your daily life whenever you need to. A thought download is an essential life skill that you will be able to use again and again to organize your thoughts and ease the stress of daily decision making.
