Description

This resource includes both printable worksheets and a Google Drive (paperless) option. This TED Talk worksheet is intended to be used with Alison Ledgerwood's TEDx Talk, "Getting Stuck in the Negatives (and How to Get Unstuck). The TED Talk, worksheet, and class discussion can be completed in one class period or assigned as homework. TED Talk lessons also make great "Sub Day" lessons or one-day lessons for in-between units!

This TEDx Talk and worksheet are appropriate for high school-level Social Studies and English classes. I use this assignment with my Life Skills and Psychology students.

Description:

Alison Ledgerwood joined the Department of Psychology at UC Davis in 2008 after completing her PhD in social psychology at New York University. She is interested in understanding how people think, and how they can think better. Her research, which is funded by the National Science Foundation, investigates how certain ways of thinking about an issue tend to stick in people's heads. Her classes on social psychology focus on understanding the way people think and behave in social situations, and how to harness that knowledge to potentially improve the social world in which we all live.

he TED Talk Lesson (Getting Stuck in the Negatives) was exactly what my students needed after fall semester grades were released. Many of them felt defeated, especially those who were not passing, and this lesson opened the door to important conversations about mindset and building resiliency. The message was relatable, the format was easy to use with the Google Drive option, and it truly helped shift their perspective.

I have been incorporating SEL into my classes once per cycle (We are on a 7-day cycle in my district). I used this video and resource on one of those days and the students really enjoyed the message. We had a few good discussions in my classes about why it's so easy to get stuck thinking about negative things and not positive.
