Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2022/Help-seeking among boys

Links to self-help resources
Hello, wow. You've got a lot on your page which is amazing. I'm looking forward to reading it actually. I d suggest that you add some self-help resources that students can reach out to if they find difficult to speak about their emotions or anything. Link like - Beyond blue - Health talk australia

I also suggest you add some tips on how to speak up, here's a link https://tuneinnow.com.au/module_3 CNK.20 (discuss • contribs) 10:40, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Suggestions
Hi Brad,

Fantastic topic. I greatly appreciate you raising awareness of help-seeking among boys. This definitely deserves more attention. I'm looking forward to reading your final submission!

I have a suggestion for the readability of your chapter. I've noticed the "top examples" of previous year's submission (posted by James) share a similarity: less paragraphs. This aligns with the readability component 6.1.1. However, I acknowledge James does state in 6.1.6 that "A well-constructed paragraph is generally 3 to 5 sentences (opening sentence, body sentences, and a concluding/linking sentence). Avoid one sentence paragraphs and overly long paragraphs."

Your paragraphs read well, and they are constructed with thoughtfulness and detail. I appreciate this. And mine flows much the same. But having recently noticed the commonality of the top-examples I thought I would share my thoughts. I've started adapting my own chapter page in a similar way. Feel free to check it out: Window of tolerance.

Might also be worth considering adding extra images to the chapter, to break up the text and boost viewer engagement. Wikipedia can be such a boring platform to work with, adding your own creative flare makes it engaging!

Hope this is constructive and not offensive! No offense meant in any way, just hoping to help a fellow class-mate gain extra marks! :) U3223109 (discuss • contribs) 06:26, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
