Why do you think Carol Dweck writes “Brainology: Transforming Student’s Motivation to Learn?” Without summarizing the essay or restating what the essay states, what is Dweck’s overall point? Be careful not to talk about what she says about a “Fixed” and “Growth” mindset. Remember, I am not interested in WHAT she says, but WHY she says it. WHY is a tougher question to answer that requires much thought and critical thinking. 2. Based on her essay, WHAT do you think the implications (conclusions that can be drawn from a text) are for student learning? What I am looking for is an analysis and not a retelling (summary) of the reading. In other words, try not to use the Reading Response to restate what Dweck says about a “fixed” or “growth” mindset. In order to receive the maximum points (20) for this assignment, you must address both questions in a structured response. Also, it must be a full 1 ½ structure response. Do the best that you can for this first Reading Response. This assignment will begin to move you away from mere summary to analysis. Note** What you will notice is that is much more difficult to answer the “Why” an author or a text does a certain thing. However, the “why” is what leads to analysis, evaluation, and eventually critical thinking. You will begin to look at things from a multiplicity of perspectives, as opposed to reading something once and assessing it from a one dimensional or linear mode. Critical thinking and writing skills take time.
