Growth Mindset Week 6: Learning from Others

 Growth Mindset: Student Thoughts

Growth Mindset Padlet

·        

     “Rain doesn’t always have to weigh us down. Sometimes it can wash off our burdens.” I love this quote. I like how the “Rain doesn’t always have to weight us down …” is in bigger writing. I would be okay if it ended there. Just that part of the quote means so much. The person who wrote it said that it was dorky, but I feel like it is deep. It could mean something different people. If this is kept in mind, every day could be a new adventure.  


·          “Trying Something New.”- I cannot agree with this post more. I have always wanted to learn new skills, even if I cannot use them to further my career or benefit anything. I want to learn hobbies that make me happy. Mental Health is VERY IMPORTANT.

    I'm glad that you like my quote! I kind of came up with it on the fly... doing homework late in the evening can make one pretty inspirational. I'm also with you that issues of mental health and providing resources for those with mental health complications is vitally important, especially on college campuses, where it feels like these issues are especially prominent, yet ignored.

Week 11 Story: Dude's Bowling Ball

Dude "Well, that's just your opinion, man," replied Dude to Jesus.  Jesus was Dude's arch-nemesis. Jesus never believed in Dude's crazy outlandish ideas. Dude was an open-minded individual, who believed that anything was possible, and Jesus could not stretch his imagination that far. Jesus said, "There is no way that your bowling ball can fall through the sky and into that lava mountain or whatever you call it." Dude retorted, "It's a volcano, bro, and I can make it." Dude and Jesus lived among the clouds and this world is all they have known because for as long as they can remember, the sky people have been scared of the volcano land down below. Dude was different and he believed in magic and bowling. He thought that his bowling ball had magic powers. Walter, his friend, always had Dude's back and let's just say he was the muscle of the two knuckleheads. Walter had a little bit of a temper, so when ...

Reading Notes Part B: Faerie Queen

I had a difficult time choosing a story this week for a different reason than normal. There were too many stories that I remember as a child that I wanted to use. I missed Part A and will be writing about it in the extra credit reading for this week. I wrote about Beowulf a small amount for my project last semester before I had to withdraw, so I wanted to take a different route this semester. I chose the Faerie Queen: Britomart unit because it has so many different angles that I could use for my Lebowski-esque stories. I like the idea of Dude having a magic aspect to his personality and attributes. He is a very optimistic character in the movie and I want to bring that over in the story I write this week. I could do so many things with a magic mirror especially if I used events from the movie. I am excited. I read Faerie Queen- Britomart Unit. Stories from the Faerie Queene by Mary Macleod. You can read the story here. Faerie Queen
