ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW: “In a growth mindset, challenges are exciting rather than threatening. So rather than thinking, oh, I'm going to reveal my weaknesses, you say, wow, here's a chance to grow.…” ~Carol S. Dweck. 

10th grade, it’s that time of the year where YOU will have the opportunity to show up and show out through your end of the year projects, presentations, and personal reflections. On Monday, June 10th, you will be measured by your personal growth, ability to reflect, and creative ideas- not your test scores. You will reflect on your earning from a series of lessons, activities, and projects throughout the year and will provide samples or products from your perspective classes to demonstrate growth in agency, your ability to think critically, reflect, and present work of your choice.
