Assignment 3: Explore Assignment

Due Date: Week 9, at the beginning of class. There will be a 10-point penalty for
each day your assignment is late! The assignment must be typed and accompanied by
an Assignment Cover Sheet. This assignment is worth 15% of your mark.

In this assignment you will explore different ideas and ways to improve your own wellness.

1. Find a TED talk (ted.com), a documentary (youtube) or an article that is somehow

related to one of the aspects of wellness and that you find useful. The material
should be something you haven’t seen or read before and at least 500 words or over
5 min long.

2. Go to Moodle, week 7 and open the shared document called Explore Assignment
Topics. Write down your name and the material you have chosen for your
assignment. YOU CAN NOT USE THE SAME MATERIAL as another student in the class.

3. Write two paragraphs (300-400 words altogether) about the following:

a. Summarize all main points from the material (talk, documentary, article) IN YOUR
OWN WORDS to show you understood it. Don’t forget to include the title of the
material.

b. Explain: Why did you choose that material / why did you think it was useful? How
does it relate to your life?

c. Explain: What are you going to change in your life based on what you learned?
How is it going to improve your level of wellness?

d. Include your reflection, reaction, opinion about the material.
