This is a reverse outline of my chosen source-based assignment for my english 100 class. The assignment was an academic mindset argument titled My Fixed Mindset. Here is also a link to the assignment sheet. I didn’t revise it all the way yet so here is the reverse outline of how my first draft was.
Thesis Statement: In this argument I'm going to tell you how having a fixed mindset most of the time has impacted me and how learning to think like I have a growth mindset has help me in my school career. Topic Sentences:
People have either a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. My argument is that I believe that my academic mindset which is fixed has impacted my abilities as a student to learn because fixed is when you think you're born smart but if you try you can grow as a learner and learn new things which is the growth mindset.

This blog is a reflection on my midterm conference.
Some questions we explored during the conference was do I think my hiraeth is a narrative. I answered yes because it's about a true story that happened to me in my life. Also something that was asked is do I think my Slumdog Millionaire argument essay was more of an argument or a summary. I said it was more of a summery because it was more telling what happened in the movie rather that answering the question “was it Salim's choices or society who made him who he was as an adult.” Some main takeaways from our discussion was how to make my hiraeth better and how I could expand it to get to the 1500 words. Also how I could improve my argumentative essay. Some plans for revision is for my hiraeth i'm going to add some more dialogue of my grandmother and maybe go to the house now after selling it and see how it's different. Also we just had another thursday night dinner at my cousins last week without her there but we were eating on her dining room table. Maybe i'll compare what is different now. Also for my Slumdog Millionaire essay I’m going to get rid of the word “would”. In my english 100 class we watched a Netflix original series called Chef's Table.
This episode went through the life of a chef, Francis Mallmann.
