Growth Mindset: Sprouts Growth Mindset Animation

For this assignment, I watched the Sprouts Growth Mindset Animation. It was a cute, short video that reminded me what the difference is between having a growth mindset vs a fixed mindset. I think this video helped me better understand what exactly having a growth mindset is and how to go about changing your fixed mindset to a growth one. The video was really inspiring and it made me realize that while I have aspects of both mindsets, I was raised to have a fixed mindset and definitely need to work on having more of a growth mindset. I have bad anxiety so I avoid trying new things, but this video made me want to change that. It also gave me an idea of what/how to teach my future students.
From watching the video, I think some things I need to work on are positive thinking, reacting well to feedback, and trying new things. I thought it was interesting how the video mentioned that some job interviewers will test their candidates for growth mindsets. Now I know!

    Hi Ann Marie,

    Since I heard about the Growth Mindset the first week, I have found it to be such an interesting way to approach feedback. I definitely understand why it can be hard to try new things and take feedback. The way we were taught to deal with feedback and the consequences of messing up when growing up probably contributed to our wanting to not be bad at something. This really inhibits growth, so luckily, we have learned about the Growth Mindset in this class, and I am glad it is motivating you to try new things in life!

Introduction to A Crazy Cat Lady

Image
(Image Information: Cat Selfie) My name is Ann Marie.  Here are some facts about me: I am 19 and currently pursuing a dual degree in Linguistics and French at OU.  I love books, and consider myself a crazy cat lady.  I am passionate about women's rights and LGBTQ rights.  I work as a server in a restaurant, and though my job is mentally taxing, it can also be fun.   (Image Information: Books , 2010) Some of my favorite authors are J.K. Rowling (duh), Jane Austen, the Bronte Sisters, Cassandra Clare, and Rick Riordan. I've been especially into Rick Riordan lately! This summer, I decided to reread the Percy Jackson series. From there I could not stop. I have since read and reread every YA book he has out, and I am also following his Rick Riordan Presents imprint series, in which he reads and edits YA mythology books by other authors, and then adds them to the Rick Riordan Presents collection, allowing new or relatively unknown authors to be put in the spo

Week 9 Story: Alex, the Boy Who Stole Fox Power

(Image Information: Fox Face,  Flickr ) (Image Information: Fox Close Up,  Maxpixel ) Hello. My name is Alex and this is my story about fox power.  It was nearly forty years ago. I was a young boy, about thirteen. My family lived out in the country in the middle of nowhere, Oklahoma. My mother had always loved animals, and she was constantly adopting them because she couldn't stand to see them hungry. We had sheep, pigs, cats, dogs, rabbits, goats...you name it, and we probably kept it as a pet. The one creature we'd never cared for was foxes. Back then, there weren't many foxes in our part of the woods.  One day I'm out feeding and watering the animals, something I don't particularly like doing but have to do anyway. The pig has gone and knocked her water bin over, so I've gotta climb the fence to her pen and turn it over for her. I'm struggling in the mud, trying to right the dang thing. It's heavy, and my feet are slipping in the mud and
