*******************************

This resource is included in Google Slides! Text boxes have already been created to make it easier for you and your students! Each slide includes two instruction solution tabs for when students accidentally delete text boxes and when they want to zoom in (to enlarge worksheets). It's super helpful for students who are not that familiar with how to use Google Slides or need the extra assistance.

*******************************

This resource features 32 Growth vs. Fixed Mindset Scenarios that come in the following variations: Task Cards, Worksheets, and Digital. The scenarios highlight real-life situations to help students of all levels and abilities understand the difference between a fixed mindset and growth mindset.

Students will read a scenario and answer the following two questions:

1. How would a person with a Fixed Mindset respond?

2. How would a person with a Growth Mindset respond?

▶️ 32 SCENARIO TASK CARDS (in 3 variations: Butterfly, Purple, and B&W)

✅ This resource includes scenario task cards that come in three variations: Butterfly Task Cards, Purple Task Cards, and B&W Task Cards (where you can print on any color paper).

✅ This resource provides opportunities for students to build and practice a growth mindset. The Growth vs. Fixed Mindset Scenario Task Cards can be used in guided small groups, whole-class discussions, partner discussion before sharing out with the larger group or class, or even one-on-one with a teacher, guidance counselor, or parent/guardian!

How/When To Use the Growth vs. Fixed Mindset Scenario Task Cards

  • Mini Lesson / Guided Practice / Do Now: You can use 1-2 scenarios to teach/show students the difference between a Growth Mindset and a Fixed Mindset, or you can use them as a launch activity to prepare students for an upcoming lesson.
  • Role-Playing: Students can collaborate in pairs or groups to act out a variety of scenarios and demonstrate the differences between a fixed mindset and growth mindset. Role-playing activities can be used to expose students to the variety of ways they can approach situations with a growth mindset. This activity can ultimately improve confidence, communication, and assertiveness skills.
  • Icebreaker: This can be a great way to start a meeting, training session, or team-building activity. It’s also a great way to get students to get to know each other and buy into the purpose of an upcoming activity or lesson.
  • Play Writing Exercise: Students can work in groups to create skits or scenes then perform the skit for the class.
  • Writing Response: Students can be given a scenario to read and then write their responses. Students can switch papers with a partner who then reads their responses and determines whether they agree/disagree with their responses/approaches to these real-life scenarios.
  • Discussion: Students can discuss the Fixed vs. Growth Mindset Task Cards in groups or whole class. They can discuss things like “What would you do?”, “Why would you do that?”, and “What are some other ways you can approach this situation with a growth mindset?”

This Four Corners Mini Debate Activity is a great no-prep activity that you can use any time of year for a fun, engaging activity that your students will LOVE!

Students will love moving around the room as you click through the 35 debatable topics - mostly controversial, but some are silly as well! This is perfect for middle school/high school, but teachers are encouraged to preview the statements and skip over any which you feel are too controversial for your student population. (I definitely stayed away from the most controversial topics).

►You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to voice their opinions, defend their positions, and even learn something new!

►The printable Reflection Sheet will allow them to reflect on the ideas presented, and asks them to discuss two issues that they may have changed their stance on after the debate and the reasons why. This is an activity I use in my classroom every year and I know your students will love it!

INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE:

  • 35 Statements (Google Slides)

  • Includes a Blank Editable Slide

  • 5 Printable Classroom Signs

  • Student Reflection Sheet

STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR USING THIS RESOURCE:

►If you agree with the statement, move to the side of the room labeled “Agree” or “strongly agree.” If you disagree, move to the side of the room labeled, “Disagree” or “strongly disagree.” If you’re not sure how you feel about the topic yet, move to the side of the room labeled, “Undecided.” (I typically have "undecided" students stand in the middle and hang the other posters in the four corners of the room.)

***Students should be prepared to defend their position even if they’re undecided.
