WLAC Mindset The New Psychology of Success by Carol S Dweck Book Report
Question Description
- Summary and Response JournalThroughout the semester, you will submit several chapter summary and response journals for your class reading: Mindset. Each journal is worth points towards your class grade, so it is crucial that you submit them all. The summary and response journals need to be 1 1/2 pages, double-spaced, and typed. I will evaluate carefully your understanding of the text as well as your reasoning behind your response. Journals are collected on dates indicated in our syllabus schedule. 1. Summary:
- Write 1-2 paragraphs (6-8 sentences) per chapter summarizing in your own words the main points of the reading (characters, plot, setting, etc) that demonstrate your understanding of the text. You do not need to include details or opinion; instead highlight only the main points. A good summary answers the following questions: “Who did what, where, and when?”, “What is the main idea of the text?”, “What are the main supporting points?”, “What are the major pieces of evidence?”
2. Response:
- Write 1-2 paragraph (6-8 sentences) per chapter responding to what you read. It is here where you can provide your personal opinion, feelings, and thoughts towards the text. A good response will answer some of the questions below:
- What emotions, feelings, and thoughts came to you while reading?
- What was your favorite part of the reading? What was your least favorite? Why?
- What ideas, images, or details caught your attention?
- What is the tone or mood of the reading?
- How do the experiences of the author [characters] compare with your own ideas or experiences? Are they the same or different?
- What interests you most or what do you remember most about the reading?
- Find a sentence or two from the reading that capture your attention, copy it into your journal, and explain why you chose it.
