• way too long – had to skip all stuff about rubrics
• cut A/B qs from beginning – flow chart does same
• clip examples of growth – come out later in hobby/ed
• speedier thru 2x2 matrices but worked well – colored paper for each of 4 matrices, made it v easy for students to get together. need to color code matching slides so you know who to look for to give answers.

Vocabulary Check: Mindsets [1]
The helpless [children] believe that intelligence is a fixed trait: you have only a certain amount, and that’s that. I call this a ‘fixed mind-set.’
The mastery-oriented children think intelligence is malleable and can be developed through education and hard work.
