I am so stressed by these 2 summer classes I'm taking. I really hate both of these classes. I enjoy the content but the work that needs to be done is soo much. One of my professors overlaps their work which I feel is unecessary. I'm just counting down the days until it's finally over. I'm sure I have 4 class each left to attend so hopefully it goes by quick. I hate that there's a lot of paper work to do for the classes too. I can't wait to be stress free in the upcoming weeks.
Alignment: In this sentence, you have provided an overall goal for yourself—to be stress free. This provides an overarching alignment to the text which follows, which answers the question of how to reach that goal.
Precision: You have used precise language to communicate the intensity and immediacy of this desire. The words “can’t wait” really capture the emphasis of the sentiment.
Sequencing: By placing this sentence as the introductory sentence, you have provided a logical sequencing of events—the goal of being stress free comes before the steps to reach it.
Timing: You have set a current timeline of “upcoming weeks” for this goal. This time limit makes the task seem more achievable and sets a clear timeline for the reader to start implementing.
Use of props: There are no props used in this sentence and thus no additional evidence that supports it. Consider providing additional concrete ways that the reader can go about working towards their goal of being stress free.
To better apply the principles of Iyengar Yoga to this text, consider adding a detail about why being stress free in upcoming weeks is so important – something you can actively do or a benefit you might expect to gain. This will add more precision and provide a greater sense of alignment to the desired goal.
Now that you have contemplated these Iyengar Yoga principles, it is time to consider how best to apply them in your writing – will you follow the same order? Will you spend more or less time on each idea? Have you provided enough props or evidence? Take this introspection and apply it to the rest of your writing, and you might discover a deeper level of clarity within your words.

Title: July 25
Recently my little brother and I have been watching tv together and I feel like it's a nice way to relax and calm down. However, I feel so anxious and unaccomplished because I feel like I could be using that time for my classes and homework or even work. I'm already spending over twelve hours obline and my eyes hurt and feel strained but I still feel guilty. I know it's because it's the summer courses doing to me since it's only 3-4 weeks. I hope fall semester is so much better since it's stretched out.

Title: July 26
I think this was the first least stressful day I've had in a long time. I had social studies class which was mostly group work and reading. I really liked today's lesson. We also had a 45 minute break which was very necessary. I got my science essay done and I hope I recieve a good grade for it because I worked hard. I haven't started my 10 page social studies paper yet but I think I'll start it in the weekend. Today was good and class ended early.

Title: July 27
Today's science class was short and fun. We did a lesson on surface tension where we used a water dropper to drop water on a penny and try not to break the surface tension. Our professor told us the highest amount of drops a Lehman student has gotten was 114. I tried today and I got up to 128! Which was cool and beat the record but there was another person in my class who went even higher and got 132 which is crazy. I think it was a very informative lesson to replicate and teach to elementary students because it uses their critical thinking skills to do this lesson.
To draw a connection to “Thinking Interdependently” in this example, it is clear that the students were trying to beat the record and compete with each other. They were collaborating and competing but also learning from the experience. This promotes interdependent thinking because everyone was relying on one another to help increase the drops, while also understanding and appreciating the individual efforts each of them made. Furthermore, even if no one beat the record the group still worked together by proposing ideas, motivating each other, and discussing the particular concepts within the experiment. This is an example of strong “Thinking Interdependently” because everyone is working together to reach a common goal and learning from the outcome.
On the other hand, an example of a weak “Thinking Interdependently” in science course would be if the professor gave the instructions to the class on how to do a science experiment and left the class to work with it on their own without any guidance. With no group discussion about the concepts or ideas, there would be no collaboration or relationships between the students. As a result, the professor would have limited understanding of whether the students actually learned from the experience or not.
