Today:
- You handed in your piece about learning.

- We explored the notions of ‘grit’ and ‘growth mindset’ and viewed this TED talk: Angela Lee Duckworth ‘Grit:The power of passion and perseverance ‘
- You worked together to identify and articulate Duckworth’s Thesis and the nature of her support. Ex. Data/research findings, broad based research, personal anecdote, appeal to authority.
