3rd – The assignment

Think about an important event in your life where you failed and didn’t have the outcome you originally wanted. An example could be doing poorly on an exam (SATs), losing an important sporting event, not receiving a job you wanted, not wining an award you worked hard for, or any other impactful event.

Now that you have watched the Growth Mindset video and looked over the mindset comparison handout complete the following assignment:

Write 2-4 paragraphs addressing these questions:

1. Did you go into the event with a fixed or growth mindset?
2. Did your mindset change as a result of failing?

Addressing atleast two of the components listed below how could you reframe your mindset for the future?

• Challenges
• Obstacles
• Effort
• Criticism
• Success of others

**Make sure to highlight or underline the two components you chose to focus on to receive full credit on the assignment.**
