5 minutes: As guided
by the Growth Mindset Debate Preparation sheet, each sub-group (for or
against) prepares for the debate by presenting no more than 3 points of view to
make in their argument (students have access to growth and fixed mindset
disposition examples below)
12 minutes:
- Each sub-group has 1 minute to present their position to their counterparts (3 points of
view) – 6 minutes
- Then
each teams engages in a 2 minute debate
with their subgroups – 6 minutes
3 minutes: Wrap up the session with a show of hands – “which argument (for or
against) was the most compelling”
- Now discuss which arguments most align with a growth or fixed
mindset, and why? (see below)
- As time allows, challenge students to select the
most compelling point for each sub-group’s argument.
