Sometimes things don't go to plan so an extension may need to be requested. I tend to make my assessments due Friday with an extension available to Monday 9am. Story of why I do this instead of having the Monday as due date. I'm open to reasonable extensions. Tell stories of some of the extension requests I have received and what they actually meant!

Telling my stories of my learning struggles with dyslexic tendencies and my strategies to overcome some of the issues: reading work aloud for sense and meaning (and correct words - words will probably be spelt correctly but may not be the correct work/word!). Some suggestions for this area - asking for help, recording the lecture, getting the support paid for (learning support).

Story telling may invoke conscious and unconscious metaphor in ways that inspire insight as well as emotional connection.

Abstract

Internationally, governments, health and exercise practitioners are struggling with the threat posed by physical inactivity leading to worsening outcomes in health and life expectancy and the associated high economic costs. To meet this challenge it is important to enhance the quality, and quantity, of participation in sports and physical activity throughout the life course to sustain healthy and active lifestyles. This paper supports the need to develop a physically literate population, who meaningfully engage in play and physical activity through the development of functional movement skills in enriched environments. This is a shift away from reductionist approaches to physical activity engagement and maintenance to an ecological dynamics approach that focuses on enrichment to support functional movement skill learning and development. This is an embedded approach to physical literacy that allows learners the space and time to "explore-discover" (ecological psychology) within environments that will lead to a concomitant self-organization of highly intricate network of co-dependent sub-systems (anatomical, respiratory, circulatory, nervous, and perceptual-cognitive) resulting in functional movement solutions for the performance task and enduring positive adaptations to subsystems supporting the physical literacy journey across the life course. "Explore-discover adapt" is at the heart of two contemporary learner-centered pedagogies: Non-linear Pedagogy (NLP) and the Athletic Skills Model (ASM). Both emphasize the importance of enrichment experiences from an early age, and throughout life course, and both appreciate the inherent complexity involved in the learning process and the importance of designing a rich and varied range of athletic, participatory experiences that will support the embedded development of physical literacy leading to ongoing physical activity for all. The final part of this paper will demonstrate the potential of an ecological dynamics approach for supporting the concept of physical literacy by providing a roadmap for a reliable and valid measurement of physical literacy when considered from both an ecological dynamics perspective and the phenomenology understanding of physical literacy.

Keywords: athletics skills model; ecological psychology; executive function; motor learning; non-linear pedagogy; physical education; sport coaching.

Your brain will benefit from the daily exercise of creativity and it is an excellent way to share with the people in your world. When we hear a story unfold our brain waves actually start to synchronize with those of the storyteller. These stories enable us to see a situation from a different perspective and it can even shift our core beliefs when we come out of a story back into regular life. We have all experienced the collective impact of social isolationism this year. Storytelling can help build back those healthy relationships.

There are few storytelling tips for mental fitness, better relationships, and health brain again. Storytelling should be fun entertainment. Get excited with some enthusiasm and energy. A good story does not have to be long but be sure to use lots of details while remembering an event from the past. Include details like the clothes people wore, how they moved, and what things felt like. Learn to notice and appreciate the wonderful quirks all the characters in your story. Don't allow yourself to get caught in the trap of thinking your story isn't interesting. Storytelling is more about how you tell something than what you are telling.

Be intentional this holiday season with your storytelling but also asking for stories of friends and loved ones. Tales of generations before us have helped to share who we are are today. There is great comfort in hearing stories to know we are not alone and that we can overcome these challenging times together.
