Homework due in Wednesday 10^th September

In Sycamore Class we promote a growth mindset. A growth mindset means that you thrive on challenge, and don't see failure as a way to describe yourself but as a springboard for growth and developing your abilities. That you’re not satisfied with getting by with minimal effort but push yourself to be the best that you can be. People with a growth mindset:

• Ask more questions.
• Seek out challenges that allow them to learn something new.
• Spend more time on difficult learning.
• Try new strategies.
• Seek help from other students or the teachers.
• See mistakes as ways to learn and grow.

For your homework, I would like you to think about a time when you were successful at something and explain your journey to success. For those who were in Sycamore Class last year, think of something that you’ve done in the past year- tell me something new!

Did you just wake up and be a brilliant skier? A pro tennis player? An amazing artist? A super reader? What did the journey look like? How did you get there?

You can present your journey in any way that you like. Aim to spend about 30 mins on this activity.
