We are going to be starting a mini-unit on Growth Mindset. For this unit, you will be creating notes on your own, creating a poster + artifact with a group or partner, and finally reflecting on your own. Below, you'll find the directions for the project as well as a list of awesome resources. This resource list can also be found in our digital textbook.
GROWTH MINDSET PROJECT DIRECTIONS
With a group of 2-3 people, read and research as much as you can about the concept of the GROWTH MINDSET. Ms. Park will be posting several videos and resources on her website, learnpark.us that you can use to research, brainstorm, and jot down notes about. You must complete your OWN notes on at least one video and two articles. Then, with your group you are to view the concept of growth v. fixed mindset through ONE Gate Depth and Complexity Icon (colorful posters) and ONE content imperative (black and white posters). Don’t forget about the “new” icons as well. Your information should include textual evidence and support from the articles and videos you read, viewed, and researched. You must show your findings through a written format (this can be directly on your artifact, or separately attached and typed). You must also create a symbol, artifact, or illustration (2D or 3D) that captures what you wrote about and learned.
Part 1 - Growth Mindset Notes (from at least 1 video and 2 articles) - (individual) You can use any format of notes that you prefer (Cornell, Outline, Mind Map, etc…)
Part 2 - Written Component (group): View MINDSET through ONE icon and ONE imperative. Create a two paragraph (12+ sentences) written component explaining your ICON and IMPERATIVE about Mindset (i.e. multiple perspectives and contribution - you would be explaining the various perspectives, including criticisms about Mindset theory and how these multiple perspectives CONTRIBUTE to how people view mindset today, or how they view their own learning today.) You can show me your written work to get it proof-read and checked!
Part 3 - Artifact (group): Create an art piece, poster, painting, sculpture, booklet, flyer, shape, ANYTHING that illustrates and symbolizes the growth v. fixed mindset theory and your ICON + IMPERATIVE. We will discuss possible examples in class. Please remember that decoration for the sake of mere prettiness or illustrations that do not symbolize or express meaning do not count.
Due date - Thursday, August 24th, 2018
Part 4 is your group presentation! Please be ready to present your project in front of the class by August 24th and August 25th. You will be given class time to work on this project, but we will be doing other assignments as well. Please use your class time wisely and be productive!
Part 5 - Reflection (individual): You are going to be reflecting on what you learned. This is an individual assignment and will be posted on your "About Me" section of your Weebly sites. Ms. Park will give more detail and a separate due date for this assignment.
