One time I had a Fixed Mindset when we were taking a test in 2nd or 3rd grade I can’t remember. It was the very last question until recess, I just couldn’t figure it out. The question was to cut the circle into 3rds but I kept drawing different things until I got it.<br /><br /><br />Fixed Mindset<br />By: Jackson<br /><br /><br />I’ve never really had a Fixed Mindset but the one time I did was when I was Drawing.

When I was drawing the football I didn’t like so I ripped it up and started crying then I went to bed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420654029367795622.post-83962528432473928602013-11-12T13:29:59.652-07:002013-11-12T13:29:59.652-07:00Isabella

I have one about Fix Mindset of football and baseball. I also have one about Growth Mindset of trying to do my best in math and all the subjects in school. A Fix Mindset is when you think that you can't do something without even trying. A Growth Mindset is when you try to do something that you don't know you can do.

Like once, I had a fixed mindset about pocket knives. My dad trusted me with a pocket knife when I was 2 years old, and left me alone, with a pocket knife. I cut my thumb open and ran inside my house. Thats why I have a fixed mindset on pocket knives.<br />I’ve always had a growth mindset on writing because I’m never wanting to write or even sit down, but I believe that if I try I can get better at it.

Back handspring<br /> 3. pull over<br /> 4.?<br />(if you are wondering why I put a ? in the fourth space its because I can't remember what its called).<br />And I was terribly sad because my friend did and we would not be able to be together and I thought I would never be able to do shoot through because they were super hard. So my mom called Rosalind's mom and she said that Rosalind would not be going to the next class because it was too much money so I was so happy!<br />After the next few weeks of gymnastics I finally did a shoot through! I don’t even know how I did it!<br /><br /><br /> The next mindset is a growth mindset and here it is:<br /><br /> So one day I was in school and we had just started reading a book called The City Of Ember and a boy named Doon wanted to switch jobs on assignment day with a girl named Lina.(assignment day in Ember is when all the kids when they are 12 get a job) Lina was so surprised because she had got pipe works laborer and Doon got messenger so he asked to switch and work down in the pipe works where the generator is because it is breaking down and he wanted to fix it.<br />Lina on the other hand was so surprised and said yes because she loved to run. <br />The reason why I think Doon had a growth mindset is because he thought he could fix it and that's what he loved to do.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420654029367795622.post-64933591909409255972013-11-12T12:09:11.573-07:002013-11-12T12:09:11.573-07:00Don't forget paragraphs are indented!

I have an example for both of these. <br />My first example is a fixed mindset that I have it is Basketball. Everyone thinks that I’m really good and I think that I’m terrible I think that I can’t shoot. I did try Basketball my teammates that I still have near me. Say that I scored most of our points I think that this is not right at all. A kid Steven he was good at everything, setting picks, shooting and defence. This kid was insane.<br />I have a few growth mindsets like: Math, football and unicycling. I will tell you about football today. I used to not be able to catch anything now I can catch anything or get a throw to anyone. <br />I hope this has showed you things that you might not have seen.<br /> By: Levi S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420654029367795622.post-54023439077710746222013-11-12T11:42:59.662-07:002013-11-12T11:42:59.662-07:00I love that you're using both an example from ...I love that you're using both an example from a movie and from your own life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420654029367795622.post-53351686027725075322013-11-12T11:42:36.576-07:002013-11-12T11:42:36.576-07:00My fix mindset is that I quit and I think Im ugly....My fix mindset is that I quit and I think Im ugly.<br />My growth mindset is that I never ever quit drawing even if someone draws better.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420654029367795622.post-26940153276695631932013-11-12T11:42:28.586-07:002013-11-12T11:42:28.586-07:00A time I have seen a fixed mindset

My parents, teachers and I talked about it at conferences and we discussed that fourth grade math might be to easy so we decided that I would practice more over the summer and I might be able to go to sixth grade math the next year. Now that I have practiced over the summer I am in sixth grade math and I am practicing more and more since I am behind most of the other kids and now I am catching up to the rest of my class. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420654029367795622.post-74557602305949257092013-11-12T10:56:32.996-07:002013-11-12T10:56:32.996-07:00A time when I had a growth mindset was when I was ...A time when I had a growth mindset was when I was in math and we started a new unit and it was so, so hard.

I could not believe I went down because I felt like I tryed my best. I thought to myself “I am a failure”.<br /><br />A time when I had a growth mindset was not to long ago. I was writing my first essay I have ever written about a book called Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. The essay was due the next day and I still had to write 2 more paragraphs before I was done.

I think that having a fixed mindset is like not believing in yourself. You’re not thinking positively about things. If you think that you’ll never be able to be as flexible as someone else, that’s a fixed mindset. You just need to work harder.<br />Growth mindsets are more positive.

I can’t kick that hard and I don’t remember positions. I don’t think I can learn that much because I’m not really interested in it. When I was little I played soccer, at least tried to.
