Fixed and Growth Mindsets

There are two different types of  mindsets. Fixed and Growth mindsets.

These two mindsets are very different to each other.

Some people have fixed mindsets and some people have growth mindsets.

People with fixed mindset think that there is no room for improvement.

They think that you can’t learn and that you either have it or don’t.

Their mindset are essentially fixed into thinking that you just can’t improve because you were made the way you are.

Growth mindset on the other hand is different.

People with growth mindset think that everyone can always get better and improve at everything.
They think that if you just work hard you will improve and learn overtime.

So in conclusion, these two mindsets are very different.

Fixed mindset is where you think you can’t improve and growth is where you think you can improve as long as you put in hard work.

And that’s what these two mindsets are all about.

Passion Project

My passion project is sports recreation.
My group is doing 3 on 3 basketball for year 7 and 8. So far we have done the planning and now we just need an approval to use the gym for our tournament. For our next step, once we get the gym we will start the tournament. We have already our planning and getting the gym is the only thing that we need so we can start it.

Growing NZ Innovation Project

Introduction

At the start of term 3 we did the growing NZ innovation project. Our class had to choose 2 different people that we can make a group with. There were different topics on this innovation project. The one we chose was the Irrigation Efficiency. Irrigation is used to assist the growth of crops, usually at times when there is insufficient rainfall to optimise production. Water is moved through pipes, canals, sprinkles and other man-made things. So our task was to come up with a solution that will make it more efficient.

Our solution was to create a pipe. The pipe was going to be opened by remote. This pipe basically distributes the water from underneath. It is better to spread the water under so it won't evaporate therefore we can save water.

Reflection

I enjoyed our topic and I liked what we came up with. I think we chose the perfect topic and the enablers. We also got everything done it was very organised. I enjoyed working with my group. Our presentation was quick and got straight to the point. I think my group did the best out of all the other group. I don't think we could have done any better because it was perfect.

Questions

Did you like my group's prototype?
What do you think we could have done better?
What should we have made as our solution?

Do celebrities make good role models?

I think yes and no. This is because there are always a good side and bad side for anything.

But here is why I think they are good role models.

Some celebrities are really good role models.

They inspire a lot of people from different ages and motivate them through movies or their work outside.

Celebrities like Dwayne Johnson are really big role models for many different reasons.

He is a big athletic guy with a bright personality and a sense of humour.

He inspires anyone from all ages to workout and get fit.

There are also celebrity singers like Bruno Mars who inspire a lot of people to sing.

There are a lot of other celebrities like Dwayne Johnson and Bruno Mars who also inspire a lot of people.

This is why I think they are good role models. But as I said there are always a down side to everything.

And here’s why I think some celebrities aren’t so good role models.

Some celebrities aren’t very good role models.

Some of them are dishonest and aren’t very nice people.

Some of them are not nice to their fans.

Some of them have also done drugs etc.

Some celebrities have also committed suicide and this might ruin this reputation.

Sure they had a reason why, but it’s still isn’t a good look.

These are the reasons why I think some celebrities aren’t good role models.

So in conclusion I think it just depends.

We are all humans and some celebrities are different to one another.

But in the end, it just depends on their personalities and how they carry out themselves.

Which is what makes them a good role model.
