Socratic Seminar Eval and Reflection

Well, the "Socratic Seminar on Mindset and Failure" came and went. Hopefully you were able to share your knowledge and point-of-view on this subject with your classmates. I say this because your opinion/knowledge matters. A lot.
Below is a link to your partner evaluation and your own reflection on the discussion we just had (and the research that led to it). Please include anything you might have wanted to say, but did not get the chance to. Show me what you know about Mindset and Failure. Thanks.
I'd also like you to fill out this "Mindset" Form. We'll see if anything has changed since before your research.

The Beginning

I'm writing this (the first post of our blog) on Meet the Teacher day. You probably remember it like it was last week. It was. I must say that the energy in the building is pretty neat (especially when compared to an empty school all summer!). When we start out, at least in my case, a lot of the energy is from nerves. You might ask yourself some questions. Who are these people? What are they like? Can I trust them? Are they nice/mean/fun/outgoing/shy? Can I be myself around them? What do they think about me?
We don't know each other very well yet, but we will. It's going to be awesome. Here is a thing that tells a little bit about me.

Can you do something for me? I'd like you to do a quick 3-2-1 activity.
3 - Identify three things that you learned about me or your classmates today.
2 - Name two things that make you excited or nervous about the upcoming school year.
1 - Name one thing that you know a lot about.
