Q Assignment: Post: Please write two paragraphs: • Think back to Dweck's theory of growth mindset.

How will you decide if you've achieved it? (Remember, we are focusing on the writing here, not on the grade.) Response: Compare your approach to growth mindset to your classmate's. What stands out for you? Learning Objectives: Overview: In this discussion board, you will think about how you are approaching essay 1 and the degree to which that approach model's Dweck's theories.

Hello class, I plan on applying Dweck's growth mindset to my first essay by reminding myself that the draft is just that, a draft and that it will not be perfect, nor does it need to be. I usually find the draft part to be the hardest part because I am developing the complete story and structure. Starting from a blank canvas is one of the toughest parts because there are so many different ways to go about it. I will have to stop to remind myself that I am only doing the draft so there is no need to make it perfect and that I can change things throughout the process. I plan to have more of an open mind for the draft and not get too overwhelmed with everything.
