Grit is when a person persists in achieving his goals no matter
how many times he fails, he always keeps trying.
The video shows how a person did studies in different groups
and places to know who would succeed and why. The result of the
study was that the one who would succeed was the one who
persisted and did not give up. It also shows how the people who
had a growth mindset were those who were most successful. In
conclusion to build a grit we have to know the importance of
success and persist.
The article shows a different point of view, it tells us that
to build that desire to succeed or be persistent in children,
building grit is not enough. It shows us how also interacting
or maintaining a relationship with a student or with the person
is also important.
My point of view is what is important to be persistent in order
to achieve our goals and succeed but in order to create this
desire to succeed in other people we have to create a
relationship and a type of connection with the other person so
that they do not feel attacked when explaining the importance
of persistence and how to achieve success.

I love your response and I agree with you in the last part. One
feedback from me would be to make your sentences shorter in the
last paragraph. 😊

Grit is a concept found not so long ago. This word can
be defined as being determinated with work and willing to put
effort to achive eternal goals in life. The video which is
entitled as "Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseveranece" was a
small TED talk by Angela Lee and her journey with grit. In the
video I was able to hear how she wanted to deeply understand why
some of her students performances were what they were. After
quitting being a teacher she became a psychologist to study
this. She did many research and data with juniors in public high
schools to prove how some grit questionnaires could impact their
determination to graduate. Also, she said the closest thing to
build grit in within a kid is growth mindset. Growth mindset is
a way of thinking that challenges can make you grow, new things
are good, and that failure can be your friend.
On the other hand, the article "What's Missing When We
Talk About Grit" has a different way to inculcate grit in
student's brains. Luke Reynolds, the author of the article
narrated a story with a particular student of his, Eliot. As a
English teacher of seventh graters he wanted to make those who
were not exceling do so by using grit. That did not work.
Instead, on day Luke told a story about him liking the
Ghostbusters. It caught the attention of Eliot and he started to
hand around with Luke and later on improved in every academic
aspect; Eliot was developing grit. In my opinion, I agree the
most with the article by Luke. I choose this because he states
that society is trying to convince kids using logic instead of
love. Love can really be an element to try to introduce grit to
kids. To add on, iI agree with Luke when he says that the
relationship with the kids it's what modivates them to work
harder. Finally, this was a small pick into the understanding of
grit and two similar but different perspectives of it.

Grit is when someone has passion and perseverance. When someone
is determine to work really hard to accomplish their goals.
In the article “What’s Missing When We Talk About Grit” by Luke
Reynolds says that building grit is not as good as building a
relationship with your student or children. He says that when
you a have relationship with someone you get to know them better
and that you are not just making assumptions about them. Also
that building a relationship can help the teacher or parent to
show the kid not to give up and to always move forward. In the
other, the video “The power of passion and perseverance” by
Angela Lee Duckworth talks about how grit and growth mindset can
help a student to become successful. Growth mindset is when
someone is always positive about what they going to do and is
always working hard.
Lastly I agree with Angela Lee Duckworth. I believe that when
you determine yourself to do something you can do it. Also by
working really hard, and for been persist you can become
successful and accomplish all your goals.

Grit is the ability to persist in something you feel passionate
about and persevere when you face obstacles. Grit is also about
perseverance.
According to the article, a teacher has to help the student and
parents to their children learn about the value of hard work and
perseverance. When adults tell their stories about their own
lives and connect them with the children's life story. They
begin to create a relationship that moves children to move
forward.
Based on the video, what is needed in education is a much better
understanding of students and learning from a motivational
perspective, from a psychological perspective. Grit is a
feature that emerges as a significant predictor of success. We
need to work really hard to make that future a reality. Grow
mindset is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed.
The students are more likely to persevere when they fail.

Joely Rodríguez, I agree with your point of view, something that
I liked about your response is that you knew how to develop your
thoughts well. Something you could improve is to separate your
paragraph into shorter paragraphs so that the development of
your ideas does not abound much.

Grit is when someone tries its hardest to achieve or get close
to its goals. It also is all about perseverance and effort.
There are two perspectives of grit just like the video and the
article. In the article, “What’s Missing When We Talk About
Grit” Luke Reynolds states that if kids developed more
relationships then they will get better or improve at their
academics. In the video,
“ Grit: The power of passion and perseverance” Angela Lee
Duckworth states that growth mindset is the best way to get grit
on people. Growth mindset is when someone doesn’t give up its
dreams and tries its hardest to get there.
I agree with Angela Lee Duckworth because if someone gives
effort to what they are doing they can get to where they want
and even more.

Dariely Sánchez, I agree with you because I think that if you
give your best effort you can complete everything in life.

Joely Rodriguez, in some part I agree with you and in another
part I don’t because not every kid is going to do better just
for the love you are giving them. Maybe kids would think that
since they have the love of their parents or teachers they don’t
need to Have any effort in school.
