1. The main claim that Dweck makes is that she believes that learning is about the process. Dweck believes that by "praising the process that kids engage in, their effort, their strategies, their focus, their perseverance, their improvement. This process praise creates kids who are hardy and resilient" (4:17-4:30).
2. Her purpose in sharing this information is that she believes that a growth mindset can change the outlook of future generations for the better. 3. The context that Dweck's speech is in is after the millennial generation had grown up being rewarded for only good results, rather than for effort, in the United States. 4. The exigence that inspires Dweck's claims is that poorer areas such as a class of "fourth-grade students in the South Bronx" (7:36-7:38). The ability for a specific few historically less-well off neighborhoods to be able to score well when using a growth mindset, drives Dweck to her ideas that growth mindset lessons should be spread throughout the education system. 5. The audience that Dweck is trying to reach is educators, because she believes that they want the best for their students and would follow her ideas about growth mindsets. 6. Carol Dweck arranges her ideas by creating questions, and then answering those questions, such as "So what can we do?" (3:59-4:01). 7. To support her claim, Dweck used a study with 10-year-olds that came to the conclusion that some students "understood that their abilities could be developed" (1:12-1:16). Dweck also uses employers to support her claim, as she uses them to cement the point that "We have already raised a generation of young workers who can't get through the day without an award" (3:47-3:53). 8. As I student I believe that I have a developing growth mindset because I attempt to look for challenges in situations, but sometimes I will take easier paths.

Hey Bobby, I really like the evidence you used about the 10-year-old class because they are our future. I also take easier paths sometimes and I am trying to get out of that and move into a growth mindset. - Walker

I really appreciated your last response. Though it was concise, you made a very important point. Maybe it is "easier" to display a fixed mindset. Displaying a growth mindset requires effort. Love this! Great response!
