When I annotated Carol Dweck’s TED Talk, I tried to use a pattern that made the points she was trying to make clear. Since she used a lot of comparisons when it came to a “fixed mindset” and a “growth mindset” and how these two grading systems affect students, I annotated each side of her points differently. When she spoke about something in a negative manner, I would highlight it. However, when she was praising something, I underlined it. I liked this method because when I look back on it, I can easily see her main points and distinguish between what she’s encouraging and what she’s trying to prevent. The only exception to this is in the first paragraph. I decided to use this technique after I started and had already highlighted a couple of things. Also, in the end, I made a few notes on the bottom of the page. These were my overall thoughts about what she said and what I got out of it.
