Project 1 Idea
For the project I’m thinking about doing one paragraph explaining Dweck’s ideas. I will talk about how she feels as though kids with a growth mindset love learning and kids with a fixed mindset hate it. I will also talk about how she feels as though you can change a kid with a fixed mindset perspective on learning. Then I will have a separate paragraph for Lukianoff and Haidt. I will talk about how they bring up the ideas of ‘microaggressions’ and ‘trigger warnings,’ what they are and if they actually benefit kids in and outside of the classroom. Then I will have a paragraph connecting their ideas. I will connect kids with growth mindsets to teachers who allow microaggressions and do not use trigger warnings. I will also connect kids who have a fixed mindset to teachers who use trigger warnings and do not allow microaggressions. Then I will have a paragraph on my opinions. I will say that I do not like trigger warnings and that I think microaggressions help kids. I will also add how they connect to each mindset.
