Summary Of Chapter 2
In Chapter 2 the author is comparing a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. She explains what exactly qualifies of having the two kinds of mindset. Mindsets are just a person personal belief on how they view the world and how they should carry on in regards to learning. The world is divided into two type of people; learners and non-leaners. With a fixed mindset a person is concerned with mistakes and failures. "Fixed" traits is about ones success and being able to prove their smart and talented, basically validating themselves. Where as a growth mindset person has continuous changing qualities, you stretch your to learn new things. To test someone's way of thinking just ask "What would be more rewarding, success in your comfort zone and validation or taking on challenges that stimulate you mind and pushes you to become better?"
You summarized a very long chapter very concisely. If you have a growth mindset, it's not necessarily that your qualities change, it's that you don't see things like intelligence or failure as "fixed" states. Everything is part of the learning process. Do you know the difference between their, they're and there?

By the way, I just realized that you might not have understood this entire assignment because you did not read the directions carefully. There were two parts, each part worth 50 points for a total of 100 points. One part was teaching the class on an assigned section of chapter 2. The second part was completing and writing a reflection on one of the "grow your mindset" activities at the end of chapter 2. I've given you credit for the teaching part by writing this summary. You still need to complete the second part of the activity.
