Grisman , Gillian. “Peace Corner: Creating Safe Space for Reflection.” Youtube, Edutopia , 5 Feb. 2018, www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxBv1w4SQyw.

The genre of this specific source is a You tube video. Through the video they explore Nashville’s Fall Hamilton Elementary School and a practice the school posses. The school has incorporated “Peace Corners” into each of their classrooms in order to provide children with a safe space to reflect and manage their emotions. The main point of the video is to explain how this little area can impact the emotions of the kids in a positive way. If they are feeling stuck, unmotivated, angry, etc., they are able to go to this corner and reflect on what may be wrong in order to proceed with their day. The teachers in the video explain how they have noticed differences in their students as they don’t lash out any more but instead go to the corner and reflect when they are feeling different emotions.

Watching this video got me intrigued as it was a very unique and impactful practice the school incorporated into their curriculum. This is a great technique to allow kids to regain their focus or emotions through reflection. The video mentioned that they “Provide Comfortable pillows and toys to help students de-escalate”. I have always felt that a comfortable space helps you effectively reflect on yourself. Not only may this be effective for kids but for everyone as well. Of course adults may not play with toys, unless you do I don’t judge, but this can be improved on for adults. Instead of toys they may have certain magazines that help them regain focus or even books. Overall I feel as if this technique is very helpful.

The tone of this video is uplifting and excitement. I feel as if the intended audience is other schools in order for them to follow suit, but I feel as if different people can learn something from this video. I feel as if the producers content is credible since they have a large following of almost 150k followers. Credible sources seem to always have large followings which allows me to trust this source as credible. I like the style of the video. They were able to edit it to allow you to be intrigued throughout the whole video.
