2. The title of the article “The Perils and Promises of Praise” suggests that Dweck believes praise can be good (promising) or not so good (perilous). Explain the difference between these two kinds of praise. What makes one good and the other not so good? Look around in your environment in the next few days and listen for examples of people praising others. How many of them can be classified as either the good type or the not so good type. Write here about what you have observed. Does Dweck’s idea seem valuable? (25 points)
3. What is the difference between a fixed mind set and a growth mind set as they are defined in Dweck’s article? Explain it in your own words, but be sure that you are giving Dweck’s meaning. How do Dweck’s terms relate to yourself? Are you clearly in one category or the other, or is it possible that you have a dual mind set, sometimes using a fixed mind set and other times a growth mind set? Explain by giving an example or examples and show what you mean by that example. (25 points)
4. For this question, you have two choices: A or B. Choose only one. If you have the book, choose A. If you don’t have the book, choose B.
A. Look at the four illustrations that accompany the article. They are on p. 6, 8, and 10. Select one of these illustrations and describe it precisely. Imagine that you are trying to make someone who can’t see the illustration see it as well as you do. After your description, explain how what is depicted in that illustration relates to what the article is about. Can you see more than one relationship between the image and the article? Explain each one you see. Finally, how do the three illustrations relate to one another? How do the three of them together give ideas of what Dweck’s article is about? (25 points)
B. Imagine how you would illustrate the article. Select one illustration and describe it precisely. Make the reader see it exactly as you imagine it. Explain how this illustration or image relates to what the article is about. If you were to add other illustrations besides this one, how do they relate to one another? How do all of them together give an idea about what Dweck’s article is about? (25 points)
