The growth mindset never gives up and pushes on even when faced with defeat whereas fixed mindset gives up when faced with a difficult task. This happens over and over again and starts to become a pattern. People with a growth mindset learn from their mistakes and embrace the people with a fixed mindset never think about their mistake and gives up. It can even affect you in the long term because with all the contribution you will always shy away from challenges and never learn from them. In the the article ,The Effort Effect, by Marina Krakovsky the author explains,”Students for whom performance is paramount want to look smart even if it means not learning a thing in the process.” To rephrase that students rather look smart than actually learn. This contribution will affect how the student thinks and can really harm them if this pattern continues. The author further articulates in paragraph 12 when she states,”Students with learning goals, on the other hand, take necessary risks and don’t worry about failure because each mistake becomes a chance to learn.” In other words students with a growth mindset will never be afraid to make a mistake and it will start to be a pattern. This contribution will lead to success and the secret to it is it is all in your head. You will go far in life with just the right mindset. The growth mindset implies to almost all and any thing you do and when used correctly, will motivate to to strive for perfection through failure.

During my assignment of growth mindset I learned many things about myself and how I can relate to the topic. For my part I was the videographer and editor. Being the videographer was my easiest task because I have had experience. However, when it came to editing, it was my first time doing this task. The challenge for editing was using the software, imovie, for the first time. This task was related to the project because my mindset was driven to complete the assignment no matter what. After many attempts and with the help of my dad I managed to complete it. I learned not to give up during this challenge. After I completed my assignment all the weight was lifted off my shoulders.

F-The events in the play, "The Crucible, relate to the Salem Witch Trials that occurred in Salem Massachusetts in 1692.
I-While reading the Crucible I felt overwhelmed with emotions because I tried to put myself in the victim's position and realized how unfair the Judicial system was during that time. Many of them lost their lives because they were wrongly accused of witchcraft.
N-A new idea I learned while reading The Crucible is we should have more humane ways to punish people for crimes.
D-A personal decision I will make based on The Crucible is to not point fingers and actually analyze different situations based on concrete evidence.

My goals haven't been met but I am achieving more slowly and steady. I haven't read many books this year but I recently picked up a new book that I am looking forward to read. I believe that I have participated a descent amount of times. Some strengths in this class are liking what I am learning in this class like "The Crucible". Some weaknesses are me not paying attention and having side conversations when the teacher is talking. I think I am a okay righter depending on what I am writing about. Something that I find challenging is being timely and following my schedule. Something I find easy is getting my HW done on time. What I want to work on this month is read/watch The Little Prince. I think we should learn about this because I like the meaning of the film/book and it kind of relates to a growth mindset.
O Grandma! My Grandma!
By Adan Franco
O Grandma! my Grandma! Our fearful trip is done,
The bed has survived every wreck, the prizes we sought is won
The house is near, the cheers I hear, the people are exulting,
While follow eyes the steady borders, the cot grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the heavy gasps of air,
Where on the bed my Grandma lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Grandma! my Grandma! rise up and hear the cheers;
Rise up--for the the cross is hung--for you the church bells sing
For the bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths -- for you the spirits a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Grandma! dear Grandpa!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that in your room,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.
My Grandma does not answer, her lips are pale and still,
My Grandpa does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
The bed is attached safe and sound, its journey closed and done,
From fearful trip the victor cot comes in with object won;4
Exult O spirits, and hear O cheers!
But I with mournful tread,
Walk the room my Grandma lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
