Mistakes and Growth Mindset (iPads)
Lesson Notes:
This could be broken into 2 lessons (research… then present)
Students will need access to the internet, either through iPads or the Computing room.
You should also print the ‘research’ worksheet.
**Overview: **
This lesson, groups of students will choose to research one of a list of suggested products, to discover how it was created by accident, as a ‘good’ mistake. They will then select a creative way to teach their peers this information. My Year 4 pupils loved this lesson - they stayed on task the whole time and the presentations (mostly commercials) were so good that we filmed them!
I’ve included a filpchart and a research worksheet for the students to use.
Mistakes and Growth Mindset
The lesson begins with a circle time activity that my kids adored. They then watch a video about a child who persists with a terrible drawing, using focused feedback to help him, until it is improved - my kids thought the transformation was amazing. They then complete a worksheet based on the video, then it all ends with a song and dance! This less guarantees you a fun afternoon with your class - enjoy!
I taught this to a Year 4 Class, but it would easily work for Year 3 / Year 5.
