Read and annotate your book for Chapter 2: Inside the Mindsets. Then answer the following questions in your own words – do not copy sentences from the book. You get points for this activity by simply doing your best. We will discuss these concepts further in our groups, so you will not lose any points if you make a mistake.
1] Answer this question in terms of fixed and growth mindset people – is success about learning or proving you are smart?
2] What is CEO disease? What type of CEO’s have it? How are other CEO’s different from them?
3] What is stretching? Why do growth mindset people thrive on it? What do fixed mindset people thrive on? Why?
4] Do tests accurately define potential? Why? What do tests accurately tell us?
5] John McEnroe was a great tennis player. What did he do when he failed? Is he fixed or growth? Why?
6] Michael Jordan was a great basketball player? What did he do when he failed? Is he fixed or growth? Why?
7] Dweck tells us that mindsets change the meaning of failure. What does failure mean to a fixed person and a growth person? How hac this hinder/help their success in life?
8] What does effort mean to a fixed person and a growth person? Why do they feel that way? How can focusing on effort rather than success help a person in life?
9] How can a growth mindset possibly help with depression? Explain.

Part 3] Look at one of your group mate’s work. Write 5 sentences to help them improve. Do you agree s/he captured the big ideas in the first 8 sentences? Did s/he miss anything? How did they do in putting those ideas together to make 4 sentences? Do you have any questions for him/her? Did s/he do anything really well.
