Welcome to The Power of Yet!

Introduce the concept of growth mindset and explain the importance of 'yet' in reframing challenges. Emphasize that 'yet' implies a future possibility for success. Ask students to think of a challenge they experienced and how adding 'yet' can change their perspective.

What is a Growth Mindset?

Show a slide with visually engaging graphics (clouds, rising sun) to symbolize new beginnings and persistence. Encourage a brief discussion on how everyone faces challenges.

The Magic of 'Yet'

Discuss the power of the word 'yet' as a tool to overcome negative self-talk. Ask the class to share examples of how adding 'yet' changed the meaning of their statements.

Apply Your Growth Mindset

Encourage visual and verbal exploration on overcoming challenges. Pose a reflective question to stir discussion: 'What challenge will you tackle today with a growth mindset?'

Keep Growing with 'Yet'!

Use this concluding slide to wrap up the lesson. Encourage students to remember the power of 'yet' when they face obstacles and remind them that learning is a journey.
