Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references
Before you begin
Describe a skill that takes practice and identify a current difficulty.
How to use this worksheet
- Model the target skill: differentiate between Fixed Mindset ('I give up') and Growth Mindset ('Mistakes help me grow'). Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
- Check readiness first: Describe a skill that takes practice and identify a current difficulty.
- Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: Adding yet to a sentence helps only when paired with a useful strategy or support, rather than repeating ineffective effort.
A common mistake to discuss
Adding yet to a sentence helps only when paired with a useful strategy or support, rather than repeating ineffective effort.
