Feedback Strategies

For this week I read week 2 and week 3 articles. The first article I read was 6 Bad Mental Habits That Sabotage Your Success. I felt this article was relevant because I can get into my own thoughts at times. I think I am pretty good at absorbing feedback whether it is positive or negative. The article mentions athletes that have trouble accepting negative feedback but I feel everyone is different. When I played baseball I pitched so I was constantly getting critiqued and I feel that it had prepared me for feedback later in life. One thing I do need to work on is making excuses and that was the top bad habit that sabotage success.

The next article I read was How to Craft Constructive Feedback. I feel like this is an important task to help with writing critiques and any other feedback you may have to give. The best way to do this is to know who you are giving feedback to and what kind of opinions they are looking for. Another big part is listening and really understanding what you are critiquing. So you can give constructive criticism that will make who ever is receiving the feedback become better.

    Hey Zack! How true about truly listening and understanding before you critique. I think that thoughtless criticism is worse than zero feedback. Whenever I receive what seems to be thoughtless criticism, I am always left wondering if I just misunderstood or if my story was so confusing that even the feedback doesn't make sense! And I agree, sports are such a great way to prepare for receiving feedback later in life.

Growth Mindset: My job as a growth mindset place

I have a part time job at a store in Del City called Gregorys sporting goods. I sell team uniforms and various things to customers and have been doing so for about two and half years while I have been in college. I work part time along with school. There is a lot of talking to do and selling and I have used those skills to be successful at what I do. I have been searching for a career and finally found one upon graduation and going through interviews you have to sell yourself. I believe my job at gregorys has provided with mindset that I will succeed in my career. I loved to learn and grow and this part time job has lead me to learn patience and organization. I am going to be sad leaving but I am so excited to start my new career. Gregorys Logo

Reading Notes: The Gold Giving Serpent

The story I have chosen for this week is The Gold Giving Serpent by Joseph Jacobs The poor farmer and the serpent are the main characters of the story I especially liked the serpent, he was clever and also was not to be messed with He taught the farmer a lesson about greed The farmer tried to betray the hand that fed him I could change the story to were the serpent was immortal and played dead and began to seek revenge on the farmer I could change it to a huge battle of the boy and the serpent for all the gold The snake lets the man be free after killing his son, I could re write that and have the snake take revenge on the farmer and kill him as well.  Photo from Wikimedia

Reading Notes, English tales: Three Little Pigs

The three little pigs is one of the most famous tales I want to keep the beginning of the story the same " ill huff and ill puff and ill blow your house down" After the wolf gets to the third house I can change the story around the wolf gets tricked every time and I could change that around to where the wolf was doing so on purpose The wolf talks about different ways to get the last pig out. I could change the way he tries to get him out of the house. Maybe even spy on the pig to devise a plan.  I don't want to take away from the original story but I feel like I could have some better ideas to make it more interesting.  Joseph Jacobs, Three Little Pigs; Link to reading The Wolf
