Struggling to focus? Having trouble completing your English assignments? Come to our R&W Subworld Study Space where we semi-independently work on our assignments together and seek help from peers if needed. This will not be a tutoring session. We will use the Pomodoro study method (25 minutes of study + 5 minutes of break). If you encounter a problem, you can post it in the chat to see if anyone can help. The purpose is to create an environment where people are encouraged to complete their assignments. As for those who didn't struggle with your assignment, feel free to come and see it as a study space :)

Welcome to the study space! We'll use the Pomodoro timer to help you focus on finishing whatever you need to do. If you have any questions about topics I (Wenbo) am certified in (including pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, statistics, college algebra, calculus, and AP Precalculus/Statistics/Computer Science A/Psychology), feel free to ask me during the session! More sessions will be scheduled over time to avoid unforeseeable schedule conflicts. By the way, this is a continuation of the previous series, [https://schoolhouse.world/series/22685](https://schoolhouse.world/series/22685).

In this session, we'll be discussing social media and youth and will use [this discussion guide](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sf8eagf_t6sLxQAMzxHxo3Xi8546lUyq/view?usp=sharing). We will explore questions like: Should there be more age restrictions on social media? Or should society rely on parents and teachers to guide social media usage by youth? Should smart phones be banned in schools? How does social media impact mental health? Welcome to [Dialogues](https://schoolhouse.world/dialogues)! Here’s some helpful information to help you prepare for your session: 📌 Session introduction: At the start of the session, the event host will provide some introductory remarks about how the session will work and tips for discussion. 🧩 Discussion partner matching: All participants will be matched with a conversation partner to discuss with. If there are uneven numbers, you may have two conversation partners. 🤝 Breakout discussions: After the session introduction, everyone will switch to their breakout discussion. Your discussion will be unmoderated, so you can start when your partner arrives in the new Zoom link. 🗺️ Discussion Guide: You will have a topic-specific discussion guide for the session to help guide conversation. ⏰ Session length: The breakout discussions are scheduled for 45 minutes but you can discuss as long as you want! ✅ Stay on topic: Please make sure to stay on topic. If you and your partner run out of things to discuss, it’s okay to end the discussion early. You will not be returning to the main group when your conversation is over. 🤔 Make the discussion your own: You probably won’t have time to answer all the guide questions so pick and choose! Feel free to also bring in your own questions and ideas outside of the guide. 📝 Survey: A mandatory survey will appear at the end of your session to fill out. This must be filled out for you to get credit for the session in your Dialogues portfolio. 🤸‍♂️ Have fun: There is no preparation needed for this event. These conversations are meant to be casual, in addition to being meaningful. We hope you enjoy it!

Hello, all members of the R&W Subworld, welcome to the weekly game night series! This series will be hosted twice a week, at 7 PM EST on Friday and 7 AM EST on Sunday, to reach more learners worldwide. You may join as many sessions as you like; just remember to enjoy yourself! We will play various creative games like Garticphone, Skribl.io, Gimkit, and more! This will be a great place to make friends and get to know the moderators better! We are not those behind-the-scene scary-masked rulers...but cheerful outgoing people that want to know you better also!
