Guided Practice
(We do)
Talk about the importance of the quote “There
is a difference between not knowing and not
knowing yet.” Tell the students that there is
always room to grow in knowledge with an
open mind (not knowing yet).
Play the short motivational video. After it talk to
the students about how the main character had
a growth mindset. Ask them if anyone has seen
monsters inc 2, and if they have was sully the
scariest monster? No, but he worked hard and
didn’t give up or ever think that he couldn’t win.
That gave him the opportunity to win.
Watch short clip on facing the giants. Ask the
students if the character doing the death walk
had a growth mindset? What about the coach?

they believe in their teammate?
