Feedback Strategies

Growth mindset, taken from Tes
In this blog I'm going to talk growth mindset again and feedback again. So I read two articles about this, the First being "Be A Mirror Give Readers Feedback That Fosters A Growth Mindset", the article talks about how to give feedback to encourage a growth mindset, even giving five qualities: Be specific, focus on what the reader is doing, focus on the process, make sure it can transfer and finally take yourself out of the feedback. 

The Article goes into detail, so I highly that if your interested, personally the idea of a growth mindset interests me, I grew up in a primary school that destroyed my confident and told me I wasn't going to be anything, yet here I am in my second year of University. I really want to try out the five qualities now!

The second Article is "Preschoolers and Praise: What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow?", this give article gives parents some tips on how encourage a growth mindset in their child by using words like yet or explaining why the child is getting praise. I really like this article and even though I've only read this article once, I agree with many of its points. When I give the cubs feedback I try to do the steps they give and I'm gonna try harder in the future !

Introduction to Me, Myself and I

Hello, I'm Sarah and this my introduction post ! Here's bit of information about me: I live in Dublin, in Ireland and I've live there all my life. I mainly listen to Metal, currently I've been listening to Slipknot newest Album 'We are not your Kind' also known as Vol 6.. If you want a taste of Slipknot, here's a link to 'Unsainted' which is the first song (not counting the intro) on their new album. For Hobbies, I usually write, I've been practising writing over the summer and I think I'm getting better, My English has certainly improved. I'm also a Cub Scout Leader, so I go away on trip with the Cubs, Scouts and Ventures. This year I went away to County Claire and Holland with the Scouts. County Claire in June 2019, Taken by Me while hiking with the Cubs. I really like travelling around, especially with my camera, my Nikon D5100 with a standard 18-55mm lens and I since I'm studying photography in college I got put in

Game Vision Statement

Vision, it's a powerful thing, I should know, I needed glasses and didn't know I needed them, Now I can't live without them. Anyway, that's not what I'm talking, today I'm gonna be talking about my game and how I envision it. First, My Game will be a first person Action-Adventure game with some debatable RPG elements, I say debatable because now of days many games have RPG mechanics but aren't really RPGs, for example is Far cry 5 an RPG because you get new skills and have an inventory ? The game is mostly based off, Terraria  so the gameplay is very similar to it, you'll need to collect certain items, build up your strength, get stronger and defeat bosses. The big difference is that my game is going to be in 3D while Terraria is a 2D game, I'm not sure in what way that will effect the gameplay as that can effect a game very badly, for example Mega-man X7   and I'll have to be careful not to fall into that "pit-fall" get it ?
