Week 7 Reading Notes Part A: Laos

I had trouble picking a story to read this week. I ended up picking Laos. The stories were interesting, but not as much as other weeks. I had trouble staying interested. I think I could do something with the "The Spirit - Guarded Cave." I like that the spirits were loyal the owners of the treasure even after they all passed away. This story would be easy to recreate.

I also liked "The Parrot and the Minor Bird." It would be easy to turn this into a horror story. The men were threatened by the sao bird because there was a chance that it could be smarter than them. It is explained that the parrot and minor bird only echo the words of man because of it.

The Giants' Mountain and the Temple would also be a good choice.

I am not too happy about it, but I will get more extra credit done in order to make up for it. :) Part Three: I am included in the project stack. Sweet! I follow dharma. Fighting for the meek is in my blood. I do not hate people. Forgiveness is important. Video: I had to watch Conjunction Junction for my video pick. I grew up with it.

It is sad, but I still do not know all of the words to the Conjunction Junction song. "Out of the frying pan and into the fire." I will have to watch more Schoolhouse Rock videos. I was blessed.

Growth Mindset, "Not Yet"

Growth Mindset The Growth Mindset. I have never heard of the growth mindset or Carol Dweck until now. I can understand why people support her ideas and learning tools. These videos bring a whole new world to kids and some adults who have seen learning or work one way their whole life. She thinks outside of the box and beyond. I would love to take what I have learned from these videos and apply it to the subjects that I am struggling with. If we all keep working at a certain task or subject, I believe that we can all have the "not yet" perspective on life. I was diagnosed with ADD about a year and a half ago. Before transferring to OU, classes were not that difficult for me at previous colleges. When I came to OU, I realized that I do not understand more difficult concepts as fast as everyone else. My short term memory is also lacking and memorization can be tough. But when I look at subjects with a more positive view than the alternative, I tend to ...
