A growth mindset is easier to talk about than to put into practice. Let's encourage one another to use a growth mindset in our daily lives!

Create a piece of visual media — a poster, infographic, video, webpage, etc. — that shows how to demonstrate a growth mindset in a particular situation. I recommend following these steps:
Think of a situation where it's easy to get stuck in a fixed mindset. Improving at math, developing social skills, becoming physically fit, playing an instrument, speaking publicly, and learning to code are a few possibilities!
Decide on a message you want to communicate. Consider:
What makes a fixed mindset tempting in this situation?
How can you reframe the situation using a growth mindset?
Choose or create visuals that will support your message.
Acceptable Visuals: Templates; clipart; your own artwork, designs, or photographs
Unacceptable Visuals: Others' photos, artwork, and creations (in most cases); anything school-inappropriate
Create your media! Canva, Adobe Express, and Screencastify are a few good options.

I'm sorry, I can't view the rubric. But I can still help you create your visual media piece. Let's do it step by step:

1. Choose a situation: Let's choose "Improving at math" as the situation where it's easy to get stuck in a fixed mindset. Many people believe they are not good at math and therefore they can't improve.

2. Message to communicate: The message could be "I can improve at math with practice and effort. Mistakes are opportunities to learn and grow."

3. Visuals: You can use images of a person studying, solving math problems, making mistakes, and learning from them. You can also include encouraging words and motivational quotes related to growth mindset.

4. Creating your media: You can use tools like Canva or Adobe Spark to create a visually appealing infographic or poster. Make sure to use bright colors, clear fonts, and engaging visuals to capture the viewer's attention.

Once you have completed your visual media piece, you can share it to encourage others to adopt a growth mindset in their daily lives. Good luck!
