This deceptively challenging option was unanimously favored by his students, bringing forth a range of new educational materials aimed at 4-8-year-olds. These stories are not merely cute and enjoyable reads; they are imbedded with powerful lessons, such as the value of sharing or the importance of bravery.<\/p>\n<p>To facilitate his teaching, Professor Rodriguez was granted a Course Development Award from the Hive, which he used to purchase children\u2019s books. At the end of each class, he would read one of these books aloud to his students. The merit of this assignment is made evident by the following quote from Albert Einstein: \u201cIf you can\u2019t explain something simply, you don\u2019t understand it well enough.\u201d Students were challenged to take the complex concepts from their undergraduate psychology courses and package them in a way that young children could relate to and understand.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Professor Rodriguez saw this as an opportunity to engage the hearts of his students as well as their minds, working towards a project that would be more memorable and rewarding than a standard essay. Speaking about the prompt, Julia Ho (PZ \u201921) notes that it, \u201cawakened and excited my imagination. Although it was a little uncomfortable to venture out of what I\u2019ve been used to for most of my years in secondary school and college, it was refreshing and quite fascinating to browse the bookshelves at home, flipping through old children\u2019s books of mine, while thinking of my own story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her story would become <em>When Indigo Lost Fleecey<\/em>. The book is about a young rabbit named Indigo, who lives in a rainy town, but is terrified of the rain. Everywhere Indigo goes, his fleece blanket, Fleecey, goes too. Fleecey protects Indigo when it rains, but one day, a mighty storm passes through, and Fleecey is whisked away. While searching for Fleecey, Indigo encounters a deer who shows Indigo the beauty that rain can bring.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_3091\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3091\" class=\"wp-image-3091 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"515\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture1.jpg 515w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture1-135x90.jpg 135w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture1-135x90@2x.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3091\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">[Image: Julia Ho]<\/p><\/div>\u201cIt can be difficult to lose something so valuable,\u201d Ho explains, \u201csuch as Indigo\u2019s sense of safety that came from his fleece blanket, which protected him from the scary rain. But when you realize that scary things will happen no matter what, accepting this fact can make it a little bit easier to cope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sandy Ahumada (CMC \u201921) was a little more hesitant to write a children\u2019s book. \u201cGiven the importance of research in the field, I believed a research paper would best serve me in my academic and professional goals. However, as the deadline of the final approached, Professor Rodriguez led a brainstorming session where I realized that almost all of my classmates were going to write a children\u2019s book. This, along with the many stories he read to us in class, encouraged me to push myself out of my comfort zone and write a children\u2019s book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_3092\" style=\"width: 344px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3092\" class=\"wp-image-3092 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"334\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture1.png 334w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture1-190x300.png 190w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture1-57x90.png 57w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture1-57x90@2x.png 114w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">[Image: Sandy Ahumada]<\/p><\/div>Ahumada looked to her younger sisters\u2014ages 5 and 7\u2014for both inspiration and feedback. Her final product is called <em>Feary and Me<\/em>, and follows Clarissa, a young girl who begins to rely on her bike helmet, Feary, to mitigate her feelings of anxiety. But one day:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt was a beautiful sunny day and Feary protected Clarissa from the sun. But, she really missed feeling the sun&#8217;s warmth.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018A bit of sun won\u2019t hurt me, right?\u2019 thought Clarissa, as she slowly took off Feary. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Clarissa took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a couple of seconds as she raised her head towards the sun. Oh, she had missed the sun\u2019s rays! She realized how much she had missed out on because she wore Feary all the time.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>From that day on, Clarissa only wore Feary when she rode her bike. She was finally able to enjoy the sun\u2019s rays and playing with her friends, but Feary was always there when she really needed it.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is easy to overlook the merit of children\u2019s literature in an academic setting, but Professor Rodriguez\u2019 students prove that it is an especially poignant means of approaching some of life\u2019s most enduring challenges. In his book <em>5 Simple Steps<\/em>, Yusef Pierce (PZ \u201921) tackles the issue of fairness between two cousins, Nyah and Marley.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen the girls would play, Marley would always decide what games they would play and what the rules would be. Marley played the spoiled baby or the demanding Queen, while Nyah played the attentive mother or servant. In every game the roles seemed to be the same.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Noticing what was going on between the girls, one day, \u201c<em>their grandmother called them into her room and spoke to them about playing fair and being considerate. The girls were both very confused. But their grandmother simply finished explaining what she had to say and let them run off to play\u2026<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe story was a joy to research and to write,\u201d Pierce reflects. \u201cI constructed the story using my mother\u2019s story about my two nieces, Prof. Marcus Rodriguez\u2019s anecdotes from class, and Interpersonal Effectiveness handouts from Dr. Marsha Linehan\u2019s DBT skills training book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_3093\" style=\"width: 468px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3093\" class=\"wp-image-3093 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"458\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture2.jpg 458w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture2-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture2-113x90.jpg 113w, https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/thehive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2021\/03\/Picture2-113x90@2x.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">[Image: Yusef Pierce]<\/p><\/div>Professor Rodriguez, who is also a children\u2019s book author, began structuring this course thinking about how \u201cmost of my students are not going to write term papers in their future careers, unless they go on to be scholars. But most of my students, regardless of their career choice, will use writing to try to promote their ideas or persuade others to change their behavior in some way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The spirit of this is echoed in the Hive\u2019s uniquely rigorous Course Development Award application, which requires\u2014among other things\u2014that courses be ambitious and ambiguous, bringing in never-before-seen and breathtaking ideas. \u201cThe process of filling out my application is actually where this class was created,\u201d Rodriguez says. \u201cPeople think that what the Hive offers is the reward, but I think the process of applying for this grant was the reward.
