The article "Be a Mirror: Give Readers Feedback That Fosters a Growth Mindset" was a very informational and helpful article to read not only for bloggers, but for anyone that wants to better their feedback skills. The article mentions how we can be a "mirror" by looking at what the author is trying to portray, and not what we think is not there. For example, when reading other stories in this class, we might think something is missing, but if we look at what the author's intention was there might not be something missing, after all. However, there might actually be something missing, and in that case we can give specific feedback, which means to explain the little details we noticed as the readers. I found this article to be very helpful.
Wow, this article gave me a reality check on praising. I learned that telling young students that they are "clever" can lead to negative consequences like low self-esteem, and performance levels decreasing when it comes to academic. This article proves a point because I have noticed that many parents nowadays praise children for being the best, when there is always room for improvement. Praising the effort is a better approach, and will lead to trying new tactics to accomplish goals while raising self-esteem. Great read.
