During this semester we had three assignments to work on; Hiraeth, Academic Mindsets and Film-Based and out of these three, we were able to choose two that we wanted to revise for our final assignment. The two that I chose to be my formal assignments are the Hiraeth and Academic Mindsets.
For the Hiraeth Assignment we were instructed to write about a place that we long to go back to, either real or imaginary. I chose to write about a personal experience in my life that molded me into the person that I am today.
The Academic Mindsets project was very interesting for sure. We learned about growth and fixed mindsets,Ambition and nevering giving up on success is an example of a growth mindset while not willing to challenge yourself and giving up is an example of a fixed mindset. I never really heard of these terms before, but after reading about Dwecks and Kohn's opinions on this topic I gained my own opinion insight therefore being able to compose a full essay on the topic.
On this page, I will post my two formal and four informal final assignments.
Formal Assignments:
-Hiraeth Assignment
-Mindsets Assignment
Informal Assignments:
-- Blog #1: Hiraeth Example
-Blog #2: Why I Write
-Blog #3: Chef's Table, Francis Mallmann, and Our Composition Course
-Firm Based Argument
