Inversion exercise
Change the quotes from Dweck's speech using inversions.
Only invert the text in bold.
Write your answers on your whiteboards
Please mind that might need to add or remove words.
Let's use an inversion that expresses a unique situation, shall we?
"First of all, we can praise wisely, not praising intelligence or talent."
➜ Rarely do we praise wisely.
Please note that I added rarely and do as well as removing can.
A unique situation
"Instead of luxuriating in the power of yet, they were gripped in the tyranny of now."
A short amount of time or almost not
"On the left, you see the fixed-mindset students. There's hardly any activity. They run from the error."
Understanding a situation
"In another study, after a failure, they looked for someone who did worse than they did so they could feel really good about themselves."
Not understanding a situation
"Instead of luxuriating in the power of yet, they were gripped in the tyranny of now."
Advanced exercise
Group discussion
Time for the activity: 10 minutes.
Speak with your classmates about:
According to Dweck's research, what are some benefits of receiving the grade "not yet"?
What is meant by a growth mindset and a fixed mindset? How do they differ?
What are some examples of what failing students do when they are in "tyranny of now"?
Dweck said:
"I heard about a high school in Chicago where students had to pass a certain number of courses to graduate, and if they didn't pass a course, they got the grade "Not Yet." And I thought that was fantastic, because if you get a failing grade, you think, I'm nothing, I'm nowhere. But if you get the grade "Not Yet", you understand that you're on a learning curve. It gives you a path into the future. ".
Do you agree or disagree, and why?
