Part II: Activity I


1. Read the article titled You Can Grow Your Intelligence. Get a copy from your teacher or counselor,
or click on this link to view the article online.

2. Can you grow your intelligence? Discuss with an elbow partner. You may also write down your
thoughts below.

Growth Mindset – 8.3


3. Watch the video Neuroplasticity by Sentis: https://youtu.be/ELpfYCZa87g.

4. Take a few minutes to thoughtfully respond to the questions below.

Question Your Thoughts


What is neuroplasticity?

How does habit formation work?

Think of a time you rewired your brain and


carved a new pathway. For example, consider
a time in school, in an afterschool activity, or at
home when you learned to get better at
something. Explain what you did.

5. Discuss your thoughts on the questions above with an elbow partner. Consider the role of hard work,
strategies, and asking for help from others in your ability to learn something new and to develop a
new habit. You may record notes from your discussion below.

Forming a new habit is like exercising a muscle. In this case, the muscle is your brain. How do
people build muscle? They do so by pushing the muscle to do more than it can easily do, so it can
increase in strength.

One important habit to cultivate as you think about your future success, is making the time to use
CaliforniaColleges.edu to develop a routine of planning for life after high school.

6. One of the first steps in that process is to understand how the courses you take in high school relate
to what you want to do after high school. Go to CaliforniaColleges.edu and make sure you are
signed in.
— Hover on My Plan and then click on Academic Planner.
— Click on Take the Right Classes in High School in the Things to Know section. Read the
page. You may take notes below.

7. Your next step will be to plan your high school courses. Go back to your homepage with the blue
bubbles and click on Planning Courses for High School. Then, you can see the worksheet to
guide you through the planning. Take a look at the worksheet now, and then your counselor or
teacher will let you know when you will actually plan your courses.

8. Now, go back to the first page and take the Mindset Quiz again. Write your new score below.

Growth Mindset – 8.3


Part III: Reflect
— Go to My Plan and then My Journal. In the Academic Journal section, find prompt #4:
4. What was different about taking the Mindset Quiz the second time? Was your score
different or the same? Why do you think that is?
— Respond to the above prompt. Follow your teacher’s instructions if s/he assigns a different prompt.
