Feedback Strategies

For this feedback focused blog I read the two articles Be a Mirror: Give Readers Feedback That Fosters a Growth Mindset and Five Reasons to Stop Saying "Good Job!" I enjoyed reading both of these articles and found them to be very interesting. I really enjoy reading about growth mindset and I try to implement that philosophy into my own life. The first article Be a Mirror talked about the five qualities that foster a growth mindset, be specific, focus on the what, focus on the process, make sure it can transfer, and take yourself out of the feedback. These are all created to helping give feedback on others writings which in this class is very helpful with the amount of writing we do. The second article was even better. I find today so many people are ok with being mediocre or being par, as long as they get credit or pass. This article shows readers that people need to be pushed instead of being praised for mediocrity. Within the article there are some steps for people to give actual feedback such as saying nothing, talking less and asking more, and saying what you saw. Each of these steps charters growth instead of just getting by.

Introduction to Cade Posner... a future firefighter

After graduation I plan on becoming a firefighter back in my home state of California. I am from a town located about twenty minutes outside of Sacramento in Northern California. Aside from school I love spending my time in the outdoors whether it be through sports or just for fun. I am currently a part of the Baseball team here at OU and have been since the beginning of my sophomore year. Growing up in California I was exposed to many outdoor activities such as snowboarding, paddle boarding, kayaking, and hiking at a young age. These activities have stuck with me and during my time spent at home due to the Coronavirus I was able to get

  Clay There was once two boys who came across a ball of clay that had a message attached to it. In the message it stated whoever came across it had the opportunity to create a new world. Though the instructions stated the new world must be created by two people.The two boys filled with excitement immediately started coming up with ideas of how they wanted to shape this new world.  One of the boys was named Thomas, he was very outgoing and loved sports.

Things like how long students should be in school for or what the laws of the land would be, started creating arguments between them. They began to realize even though they had been friends for years there were t
