TURN IN THE SURVIVAL DEBRIEF

HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER WISHED YOU COULD DO BETTER ON TESTS? HOW MANY OF YOU FEEL

NERVOUS OR SICK BEFORE A TEST?

Surprise Test When I give you the test, please leave it

face down on your desk until I tell you to begin.

You have three minutes to complete the test.

The test will be graded and used toward your assignment points.

There will be no talking during the test unless you are specifically instructed to do so.

Reactions to Surprise Test If you didn’t finish the test, why

were you unable to complete it?  Why do you think some people

were able to finish? If you did finish, why do you think

you were able to complete it?

Fixed Mindset vs.

Growth Mindset

I am a slow reader. I am not good at English. I am not good at school. I am bad at tests. I am stupid.

I am proving myself right!

Fixed Mindset vs.

Growth Mindset

I need to understand what is being asked of me. I need to find help. I need to focus on what I am doing and not be

distracted by those around me. I need to have confidence in my abilities. I need to realize that failure is perfectly fine, but

that not trying does not give me a chance to succeed.

I can learn to do this!
