 Renne and I are putting together each other's information, and now all we have to do is the recording to be able to be done with the project.  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55ccae5fe4b00ee28e99068f/1451538310477-ZUPI9ZDSQQNAVHD17WLW/image-asset.png?format=750w

  So far with my project I've been reading a lot of articles to get as much information as I can and Renee and I also decided to do some recording audio instead of a presentation due to our schedule. I also am halfway done with the information I need for the writing and it's almost ready to be written. https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/481166694899937282/7EWz5k1t_400x400.jpeg

  Growth Mindset what it is - Jacy Fixed mindset Renee Professor Dweck stated,  “ People with fixed mindsets believe that abilities, talents and traits, like intelligence, are permanent, whereas those with growth mindsets believe these can be developed” (whatever the citation is for the link below).  How to determine if an individual has this mindset? How can an individual change their mindset into one that would be considered a growth mindset?   https://www.apa.org/international/pi/2015/03/transforming-mindset#:~:text=People%20with%20fixed%20mindsets%20believe,are%20less%20discouraged%20by%20setbacks .  Fun lil transition sentence  Sports – Jacy Example 1- Michael Jordan’s quote: “ I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Example 2- https://youtu.be/Q_EyPX3CD-g ...

 In this project I would like to talk about success and Failure themes and I would like to include severe artists that I've read about and speak about in class for example Daddy Yankee, Oprah Winfrey, etc… I also would like the audience to take it in a positive way and think about how failure is part of life.  I'm also thinking of writing it in MLA format and splitting it in a couple paragraphs. I am not sure yet about the rest of the details but this is kind of the idea I have for the Final Project. https://edtechmethods.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Final-project-2020-2000x1200.jpg

   W hile I was doing research to find a topic to talk about I found a very different and unique \ case that I thought was interesting. This is the interesting story about Ramon Luis Ayala Rodriguez (Daddy Yankee). I think a lot of people know him because of his famous song called “Gasolina” which was his international hit single. Many people only know that he is a big artist but; how did he achieve his goals, was it easy, did he ever experience any failures or everything was easy. On February 3rd, 1977, Daddy Yankee was born. He is a former actor, singer, composer, rapper, and native of Puerto Rico. The "King of Reggaeton" is Ramon, according to both music reviewers and followers. In the Villa Kennedy Housing Projects community of Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, Daddy Yankee was born and reared. Because he liked baseball so much when he was little, he always had the dream of becoming a professional player. His Big League Baseball tryout was with the Seattle Mariners. However, whi...
