Growth Mindset: Quotes

This week for extra credit I decided to try my hand at one of the Growth Mindset tasks.

Quote 1

THE DECISION TO TRY

"I often fall into the trap of saying good job, awesome when reviewing people's work. It used to be a game in high school to see who could critique "you put the wrong date" so that we could have our one correction out of the way. I definitely will work on being more specific with feedback, as I know how much I dislike non-specific feedback."

I picked this quote from the list as I love most feedback I get, positive and negative. The kind of feedback I do not like though is the "good job" and "awesome" or what I hear a lot is "oh yeah, that looks grand". I love to hear constructive criticism, giving me ideas of how I can improve my work.

Quote 2

WHY NOT?

"The way I would like to use "Why Not?" is in the sense of saying yes. Why not make time to see your friends? Why not make a random trip? Why not do something different than the usual routine? I think it is important for us to not get too focused on ourselves but live life with others. It is a lot more fun and if you are actually engaged with people you'll learn more about yourself along the way."

I like this quote because it reminds me of the movie 'Yes Man'. I wholeheartedly believe that it is good for everyone to say yes or "Why Not?" to try different things because it can lead you down different paths and create opportunities that never would arise otherwise.

Favourite Game

My Favourite Game Battlefield 1 is currently my favourite game to play. I have been playing it since it's release in 2016 and although I take a break from it to put time into other games I always find I come back to it. Battlefield 1's campaign is short and fun, with a lot of insight into the history of WW1. The multiplayer feature is where I spend my time in the game though, playing in battles of 32 vs. 32 players on each team, spread across some of the largest battlefields of WW1. The game is beautifully made, with realistic graphics and animations and the playable maps in the game take direct influence from photos and stories of the real battlefields from the time.

19Sixteen Progress - Week 10

As of Week 10 all the members of the 19Sixteen group have been assigned specific roles and things to research in relation to their roles. All members also have tasks due for next Thursday so that we can start building on our game. I myself took charge of reorganising roles to fit our six week timeframe and along with James Reynolds we merged the Assets and Level Creator teams as they will need to work closely together to build our version of D1. I also took charge of drawing out a map of the area we are creating for the game so the level creators can build the game world based on a specific area.

Annotated Bibliography

Today we looked at researching peer reviewed papers related to, and that will help us with our projects. I followed the mind map from 'interactive storytelling' to 'theory' to 'visual storytelling'. 1. Figuero Espadas (2019), A review of scene and sequence concepts. , Communication & Society. 2019, Vol. 32 Issue 1, p267-277. 11p. 1. This research proposes a separation of the scene concept into two, for the better understanding of any audiovisual narrative: scene and narrative scene. A scene is a narrative unit with space-time continuity. The key to this unit is spatiotemporal continuity. The narrative scene is, according to McKee: “an action through conflict in more or less continuous time and space that turns the value-charged condition of a character´s life on at least one value with a degree of perceptible significance. Ideally, every scene is a story event” (2003, p. 56). The key is its unity of action. 2. A narrative scene is a particularly...
