7. How would you label them?
The man who failed 1,000 times when trying to invent the light bulb.
The man who actually invented the light bulb.
The man who missed over 9,000 shots and lost over 300 games in his basketball career
The man who won six NBA Championships and was voted MVP six times.
In their teams, have them discuss how they would label each one of these peoples. Have the students share out their responses.
It turns out that in each example, these are the same people.
Who can guess who each of two people are? (ANSWER: Thomas Edison, Michael Jordan)
“In fixed mindset, we use labels to explain everything.
All we tend to look at is the outcome. But, we really need to look at the process.
Only with a growth mindset do we stick with a goal and understand that failure is a pathway to success.
Let’s watch this short video about Michael Jordan.

17. Quote of the Day Reflection
Giving ELL students an article in Spanish was engaging and a good idea.
Kahoot was engaging. Good idea to include Spanish translation in middle.
Continue making brain breaks something that ELL students can participate in.
Slide 6 could have been more tangible, and more directly related to something they learned yesterday.
The tweets were solid, larger classes were engaged, but the gallery walk was ineffective. Should give them post-its to take leave notes on.
Good idea posting the tweet stuff outside.
Good idea cutting up the poster paper into thirds for each class (per article)
Once the video plays once on youtube, I don’t need to keep my internet connected. Can play without internet! YES!
Only time to do Tic Tac Toe menu in one class. Relatively engaging. Students did not need that much time. Would have been better if I could provide markers. I had them do it on computer paper.
