2. Dweck is arguing that people with a growth mindset are the people who improve their abilities through hard work, dedication, and willingness to learn from mistakes.
3. We agree with her argument because being willing to learn from mistakes will help you improve, give you confidence, and inspire you to do better. Her argument also shows the value of hard work.]]> 2020-09-01 15:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/edevereaux/ojl4d2vropkt7oh1/wish/712118962 Group 1 https://padlet.com/edevereaux/ojl4d2vropkt7oh1/wish/712120312 Alex Riggs

1. “They obviously knew something I didn’t and I
was determined to figure it out—to understand the kind of mindset that could turn
failure into a gift.”
2. Dweck argument in our opinion is that failure isn't something to be looked at in a negative way but in a positive way its about learning and growing from your mistake.
3. We agree with Dweck argument it's about learning from your mistakes and fixing them instead of having a fixed mindset.

  1. "You don’t have to have one mindset or the other to be upset. And, It’s one thing to have pundits spouting their opinions about scientific issues. It’s another thing to understand how these views apply to you."
  2.  Dweck argued that she was trying to help kids with their ability to grow as a reliable person. 
  3. We feel that Dweck is making a good point because if you don’t understand it you may not want to change your mindset from fixed to growth.  If you don’t understand it therefore you might not care either about changing your mindset.

The author was smart by experimenting with young kids to see their challenge response and everyone coped with failure differently. 
2. Her argument in our opinion is that a growth mindset has proven to be much more helpful, challenges us, and allows us to grow in our abilities. 
3. We felt that our physical responses were that is what was very helpful, we agreed with the things she was saying, and it shows different people and how everyone thinks differently. We believe this growth mindset allows us to thrive. ]]> 2020-09-01 15:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/edevereaux/ojl4d2vropkt7oh1/wish/712121194 Group 4: Ava Wyatt, Abigail Miner, Gianna Santini https://padlet.com/edevereaux/ojl4d2vropkt7oh1/wish/712123103 1. “Not only weren’t they discouraged by failure, they didn’t even think they were failing. They thought
they were learning.”
2. The argument she is trying to make is that the growth mindset is overall better that the fixed one because the growth mindset helps our abilities  to work hard and how to learn from the mistakes we make.
3. I think that having a growth mindset is important. It is also important to have a little bit of a fixed mindset (with certain things).

2. She argues that people with a growth mind set tend to not use failure as a reason to give up, but a reason to get back up and do better. There is nothing wrong with making a mistake, its how you improve from them.
3. Having a growth mind set is very important. having a growth mind set will help us face challenges in the future and will also help to improve and be the best versions of ourselves rather than always running away from failure.]]> 2020-09-01 15:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/edevereaux/ojl4d2vropkt7oh1/wish/712128104 Group 6: Bianca McFadden, Denise Carrillo, Natalie Wilkins https://padlet.com/edevereaux/ojl4d2vropkt7oh1/wish/712136570 1. "Instead, as you begin to understand the fixed and growth mindsets, you will see exactly
how one thing leads to another—how a belief that your qualities are carved in stone leads to a host of thoughts and actions, and how a belief that your qualities can be cultivated leads to a host of different thoughts and actions, taking you down an entirely different road". 
2. Dr. Carol’s argument  was about having a growth mindset and I think that having that mindset is important because you can have room for growth. And being open to new ways of thinking is important because I think that it helps a child feel more confident with trying new things. And most importantly having a growth mindset can open new opportunities for you good or bad.
3. To add on, we agree with Dweck’s claim. You can choose to have a growth or fixed mindset, but the one you choose will lead you in a totally different path than others. We believe that having a growth mindset opens up more opportunities and confidence.  Instead of always saying you can't do  this or that, you can use a growth mindset and try again.

differently from each other. It was guaranteed that someone would ask the question of why
people differed—why some people are smarter or more moral—and whether there was
something that made them permanently different."

2. Dweck's argument is on how     there are 2 critical mindsets. Fixed mindset is when someone  people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. Growth mindset is when people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work, brains and talent are just the starting point.   

3. People do have the ability to grow from their failures. We should teach kids or people in general that there's nothing wrong with failing and how we should continue to learn from it.

"Growth mindset is about the belief that your basic qualities were developed through your efforts. The growth mindset creates a powerful passion for learning. "
2.  In Dweck's argument she is finding how many people cope with things differently than others do. She is also saying the assignment can come easy to a few kids but to other kids it comes challenging.  Dweck was trying to  that you can develop your abilities through hard work and it develops a powerful passion for learning how to do new things. Most people with a growth mindset tend to put in lots of effort and try 100% whereas people with a fixed mindset put in 0% effort and don’t wanna try as hard. 
3.  We believe that no one is perfect and that making mistakes is key to growing as a person and gaining more knowledge.  When we push ourselves and take on challenges we learn more rather than always choosing easy paths because it won't get us anywhere. Criticism is also key in growing as a person  because it lets us know what we are doing wrong and how we can fix that, but if we neglect or critics we are only stopping ourselves from going to the next level.

  1. “When I was a young researcher, just starting out, something happened that changed my life. I was obsessed with how people cope with failures and I decided to study it.” We chose this because it sums up why she started learning about mindsets. And what lead her to learn about the the two different kinds of mindsets.
  2. Her main argument is that with fixed and growth mindsets you will see that one thing leads to another. And it’s all about how we decide to cope and perceive things.  And how we will grow because of it.
  3. We believe that the point Dweck is making is truthful. A growthful mindset also helps you grow as a person. And that everyone can change and learn in different circumstances.
